1. my team is not AFCW so i don't hate raiders, but G-D if they ruin this kid…

2. Brady fumbled that ball 24 years ago.

3. I just checked LinkedIn, this is a fake post you guys. Fernando's last post was a month ago

4. Now we get to see Mendoza along with jeanty get killed behind some traffic cones. Gotta love the Vegas raiders

5. That’s fake as hell. He didn’t post that. Yall should probably check this kinda stuff lol

6. Draft the kid, and spend a bag of cash on the OLine.

7. The 4th best Qb in the west good for him 👍

8. I just checked the profile and that is not in his current LinkedIn posts or comments, maybe he deleted it to avoid any noise or controversy towards the 2026 draft

9. Football is so great man

10. Fake post guys.

11. It's all smoke & mirrors to drive up interest to get more picks in a trade for the #1 pick. 😳

12. God i love this guy

13. This can’t be real… the guy is a walking PR training, this would be completely out of character

14. "With the first pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, I select the Las Vegas Raiders."

15. Will he even fit the raiders tradition? Raiders had QBs who were known for style and roughness. He seems to give me good boy vibes not in a bad way but it will be just jarrring to see that but I hope raiders can work this out. Also he will be in AFC which I feel is the conference which has the most popular and talented QBs than NFC, so this will be a bloodbath for him.

16. That's my QB tear of joy

17. Wow that’s crazy he posted that is this real 🤣🤣🤣Luv it!!!!!

18. Your boys were duped, Rich!

19. It’s not Fernando’s request, it’s his greedy handlers.

20. 0:51

21. How much u wanna bet Tom Brady told him ok kid start getting ready for OTA as a Raider!!

22. Rich u just got played by a fake Mendoza account

23. If he balls out He could be the new face of NFL.

24. omg this is so stupid. Anybody that's an actual Raiders fan is painfully aware of our horrible long history of ruining young men's careers and idiotic irresponsible decision-making. We don't even have a coaching staff in place, and already people are planning the Super Bowl parade. Sell those draft picks and get two and three-year veterans (O-line), that are mature, hungry, and have something to prove. For a fraction of the cost. Tom Brady in his prime through very few touchdowns on his back or running for his life.

25. Raiders might be better off to go with Geno one more season, given this year's QB Draft class.

26. This is a national show that allegedly has professionals working at it behind the scenes, and got bamboozled by a fake account and are reporting on it as if it were real.

    The current state of sports media, ladies and gentlemen.

27. Got my #15 jersey on order.

28. His Mom gets me emotional too. Such a bond… Shut it, Brockman! (loved your response, man!)

29. Good grief Rich, maybe do 30 seconds of research before making an entire segment about a fake post. You should take this down.

30. Rumors going around that Raiders are wanting to trade the number 1 pick for Lamar Jackson…

31. He's going into a tough division with major question at head coach and supporting talent especially that O-line good lord

32. And with the 1st overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Las Vegas Raiders select:
    Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State

    Re: See Mark Davis¹

33. It would be insane for them not to draft him

34. Rich cut off another Raider fan again you’re gonna have problems believe me

35. As a Raider fan I can't believe he's about to be ours. My past trauma is waiting for us to screw this up…

36. Brockman catching strays lmao

37. cant say i've ever seen anything like this.

38. 100% Rich I have been a Raiders fan since 87. The Las Vegas Raiders will not take him in draft. The Las Vegas Raiders will start Geno Smith next season and wont bench him till week 10. This is just what they do. The offensive line will get improved but for what for Geno? For Jentry? This teams identity for 23 years has been trade away good players, coaches and draft and the trade good draft picks for the next rebuild

39. Trade the #1 pick the Raiders need way more than a quarterback.

40. Thanks for commenting on his mother and the fact that his father celebrates by not standing but sits by his wife. What a family.

41. Not one mention of God? This is likely a fake post lol
