Fernando Mendoza expected to be No. 1 pick in NFL Draft
Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza is widely expected to be the No 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, with the Las Vegas Raiders strongly linked to selecting him.

Evaluators also flag limited quick-twitch athleticism and lateral explosion as a clear scouting concern. If the Raiders take Mendoza first overall, Las Vegas would likely get a potential franchise quarterback, reshaping the team's offense and altering other teams' draft plans.
