The Las Vegas Raiders secured the first pick in the 2026 NFL Draft following the New York Giants’ victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The New York Jets will take the second pick unless they win against the Buffalo Bills, which could allow the Tennessee Titans or Arizona Cardinals to move up. This marks the Raiders’ first top selection since 2007, when they chose quarterback JaMarcus Russell. They may select a franchise quarterback, with prospects like Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza and Oregon’s Dante Moore expected to be top choices on April 23 in Pittsburgh.
