Las Vegas Raiders should not draft Fernando Mendoza — Dan Patrick | Dan Patrick Show | NBC Sports

1. Were was this kind of analysing last year with Tennessee. This guy sucks

2. Raiders may not work out in the next few years, but it will NOT be because they selected Mendoza #1. He will ONLY improve that team. Mark my words. … Or it will work and in a few years the Raiders will win and be in the playoffs.

3. HOW is Dan Patrick taken seriously?

4. Ahhh no…we're drafting him #1. Kolton Miller is coming back, JpJ is coming back, buy an O line center and guard..regardless we have at least 110million to spend and draft picks. Im sure Brady knows fix O line is priority 1

5. Your argument is Raiders should not take him because their team isn’t good enough??? Maybe you’re saying it won’t be great for Mendoza or it might not work … surely you’re not saying it’s not best for Raiders

6. What an idiot take

7. PEYTON MANNING came to the Colts as a rookie. Colts had a 3 win season before him. Had a 13-3 season with him. MENDOZA will elevate the play of his entire team. These guys know that they can get a career ending injury FOR NOTHING. He will lift them up. LUCK got hurt and spent a summer in surgery/rehab. He was also an architect and wanted to do something else.

8. Don't speak for Raider nation. Literally no Raider fan is expecting it to happen overnight bro. If he wins even 4 games we will be so GRATEFUL. You have no idea what you're talking about.

9. The bears did the same, They drafted Caleb with a bad O-line. They spent money and picks the year after they have a top5 o line now

10. The Raiders have also not had a top 3 pick in years. They have been pick 8 or 10 and have missed out on a QB. They are in perfect postion to finally draft one

11. This such a dumb take by Dan Patrick.

12. Hang it up dan

13. Man are you crazy! Hello most teams that draft good QB are we bad teams. Stop it! Please stop it!

14. We can buy an offensive lineman and they have plenty cap space. Yall sound like teams can't try to improve!

15. The raiders are the ONLY bad team that media pundits say not to draft a qb with the first pick
    Forgetting that half thier line was injured last year and young
    One or 2 oline pieces and its competitive
    Yall are just scared that the raiders can be great again

16. Unimportant Raider hater. Mendoza!!!!! And Cap space fixes it!!!!

17. Yes only draft a qb at the top of the draft if you have a good team? Lol. The only reason you say this Dan is because you're an idiot.

18. Good thing you aren’t running the show Dan

19. Draft picks don't mean anything if the scouts and evaluators don't have an eye for talent…Clelin Ferrel, Russell, Tyree Wilson etc

20. No one knows what that O-Line is. The line had to coach themselves . Do some reading.

21. Every team that drafted high were bad but they still got a QB! They either turned it around in a year like the Commanders or Texans or they built around the QB and they succeeded like the Bears, Patriots, Panthers, Jaguars, etc! Raiders need Mendoza, great athlete, leader, tough, and smart!

22. RETIRE OLD MAN

23. If there is more obvious proof that Dan's sources are total BS, made up stuff it's the CFP.

    Now that it will remain 12 teams, Dan said his source told him 16 is a done deal.

    I mean, how does one source know? This was always a fight between the B10 and SEC. Dan's bogus source knew the outcome? Knew that one side would win out?

24. Why do they allow idiots. to speak on TV–The Raiders have over 100 million in cap space and 12 draft pics–Our two best lineman were hurt and Caleb Rogers and Charles Grant have massive potential—we need two starters and we will be okay–you don't pass on a generational QB

25. Hater………..

26. You have to draft the Franchise when one is available, and Fernando is him!!! Looks like Dan has FDS (Fernando Derangement Syndrome)
