Will the Las Vegas Raiders draft a quarterback in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft?

“The Raiders have lacked a franchise QB and are expected to have a high pick in 2026. With a strong QB class and persistent need, drafting a QB in round 1 is highly likely. Mock drafts consistently link them to a QB.”

“The Raiders have a young quarterback they are developing, and recent reports suggest they are focusing on other positions in the draft. However, team needs can change quickly, so there's still a significant chance they could draft a QB.”

“Raiders drafted QB in 2025, have Aidan O'Connell, and 2026 QB class appears weaker. Team likely addresses other needs unless unexpected top QB falls.”
