It's been well-established for months now, but the Las Vegas Raiders have officially selected quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

The Raiders exited the first night of the draft with their future franchise quarterback in place, a sentence that Raiders fans have been dying to say for years. While that was an expected, rudimentary outcome, Thursday night brought us multiple twists and turns. It also left the Raiders some intriguing options heading into Day 2, with several first-round-caliber prospects still on the board after the top 32 selections.

Below, we're tracking the best prospects who are realistic options for Las Vegas' front office to take into account heading into the second round. The Raiders' needs are spread out across the board, so Spytek should consider everything, other than quarterback, obviously.
