Raiders draft 2026: 7-round mock with big trade down

We’re offering a full seven-round Las Vegas Raiders mock draft. The first had no trades. The second had a first-round trade up, Today, we have a mock with a second-round trade down. Both of these mocks may have additional trades, both up and down. Full disclosure: Some players may appear on multiple mocks as we try to exercise our way up to draft day Thursday:

Let’s get it done:

First round

No. 1: Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza.

No reason to get silly here. Mendoza is the pick. Now, let’s see if he can be a franchise-altering choice.

Second round:

TRADE: Raiders send No. 36 to Minnesota Vikings for No. 49, No. 97 and No. 163

No. 49: Louisville wide receiver Chris Bell

Be is coming off a torn ACL, but he is recovering well and the Raiders checked him out. He offers great value, especially after a trade.

Third round

No. 67: Miami cornerback Keionate Scott

Scott is a solid player and he fills a need.

TRADE: The Raiders send No. 97 and 102 to Tampa Bay Buccaneers for No. 77.

No. 77 Missouri linebacker Josiah Trotter

The Raiders spent big on linebackers in free agency, but they add young potential early-career starter here.

Fourth round:

117: Oregon offensive tackle Isaiah World

He’s a great value as the Raiders load up at the offensive tackle position.

TRADE: Raiders send No. 163 and No. 175 to Jacksonville Jaguars for No. 124

124: Texas Tech edge Romello Height

The Raiders get aggressive to add some youth to their pass-rusher group.

134: Clemson defensive tackle Tristan Leigh

The Raiders get a defensive tackle and get another athletic player.

Sixth round:

185: Nebraska safety DeShon Singleton

Would like to address this position earlier.

211: Clemson running back Adam Randall:

A new backup for Ashton Jeanty. They can grow together.

Seventh round:

219. Ole Miss safety Wydett Williams

More safety depth to round out the draft class.

Conclusion:

The Raiders get aggressive here and add six new defensive player and got four picks in the top 77 picks. Don’t think this is a perfect draft, but there’s some value here.
