Las Vegas Raiders, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana<\/h3>\n<p><i>Previous selection in Mock Draft 3.0: Mendoza<\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Draft Targets for the Raiders with the 1st pick:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Fernando Mendoza<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: There will be zero debate about the No. 1 pick this year. Mendoza has been locked into the top slot since Oregon\u2019s <\/span><b>Dante Moore <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">returned to school. That said, Mendoza is not on the same elite prospect tier as others who were similarly locked into the top slot early on (<strong>Caleb<\/strong> <strong>Williams<\/strong>, <strong>Trevor<\/strong> <strong>Lawrence<\/strong>, <strong>Joe Burrow<\/strong>). This is just a unique case of there being a quarterback-desperate team drafting first overall with no other viable quarterback in the conversation.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Who Calls the Shots in Raiders Draft Room?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GM <\/span><b>John Spytek<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (second year) probably controls the roster, though it\u2019s unclear. Last year, when<\/span><b> Pete Carroll <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was head coach, the team declined to clarify who had final say (though it was probably Carroll, who had final say in Seattle). Spytek climbed through the scouting ranks, so he\u2019s well-qualified to run the draft room.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Key Stats & Notes for the Raiders heading into the 2026 NFL Draft:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gained 20 or more yards on 6.4% of dropbacks, ranked 29th.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allowed pressure in 2.5 seconds or less on 24.6% of dropbacks, ranked 28th.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DJ Glaze allowed 8.0% pressure rate, ranked 34th out of 38 qualified right tackles.

New York Jets, Top Draft Pick Prediction: David Bailey, EDGE, Texas Tech<\/h3>\n<p><i>Previous selection in Mock Draft 3.0: Bailey<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Best Draft Targets for the Jets with the 2nd pick:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Arvell Reese or David Bailey: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These two appear to have separated themselves as the top of this year\u2019s class of pass rushers. Reese has incredible athletic traits, but he was a one-year starter as an off-ball linebacker at Ohio State, so there\u2019s considerable risk. Bailey was an elite pass rusher at Texas Tech, but there are concerns about his ability to defend the run. <\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Trade Down<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Since there are multiple viable edge rushers in the top-10 mix (also <\/span><b>Rueben Bain Jr.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), the Jets might explore a small trade down, knowing one of those three players will be available a few picks later. The issue with that strategy is finding a trade partner, as other pass-rush-needy teams will see the same value in drafting later. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Who Calls the Shots in Jets Draft Room?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Darren Mougey<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (second year) probably has final say over the roster. Mougey came up in the college scouting department with the Broncos, so he will likely control most draft-day decisions. However, both Mougey and <\/span><b>Aaron Glenn<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> report directly to owner <\/span><b>Woody Johnson<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u4e00 a messy arrangement which often leads to a power struggle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Key Stats & Notes for the Jets heading into the 2026 NFL Draft:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gained 20 or more yards on 4.8% of dropbacks, ranked 32nd.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allowed pressure in 2.5 seconds or less on 24.5% of dropbacks, ranked 27th.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generated pressure in 2.5 seconds or less on 15.7% of dropbacks, ranked 30th.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allowed 10 or more yards on 11.2% of carries by running backs, ranked 24th.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allowed 7.7 yards per attempt when the defense failed to generate pressure, ranked 25th.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Day 2 Mock Draft Selections<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No. 33 &#8211; Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No. 44 &#8211; Jalon Kilgore, DB, South Carolina<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"no3\">3. Arizona Cardinals, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Francis Mauigoa, OT, Miami<\/h3>\n<p><i>Previous selection in Mock Draft 3.0: Arvell Reese, EDGE<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Best Draft Targets for the Cardinals with the 3rd pick:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Francis Mauigoa or Spencer Fano: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Cardinals need an upgrade at right tackle, and the two best offensive line prospects in this class both played that position in college. Arizona would have to pass over some highly-regarded defensive prospects to address this need with the third pick. However, there is almost no depth in this offensive line class. So Arizona may choose to fill this need here and add to the defense on Day 2.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Arvell Reese<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Cardinals fans might bristle at the suggestion of another hybrid linebacker prospect, though Reese\u2019s athleticism will be worth consideration if he\u2019s on the board. Defensive coordinator <\/span><b>Nick Ralis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was in Philly during <\/span><b>Haason Reddick<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s breakout 2022 campaign and might have a better sense of how to use Reese than the Cardinals staff when Reddick was originally drafted in Arizona. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Who Calls the Shots in Cardinals Draft Room?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GM <\/span><b>Monti Ossenfort<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (fourth year) has final say over the Cardinals' roster.

Tennessee Titans, Top Draft Pick Prediction: Arvell Reese, EDGE, Ohio State<\/h3>\n<p><i>Previous selection in Mock Draft 3.0: Jeremiyah Love, RB<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>Best Draft Targets for the Titans with the 4th pick:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Arvell Reese: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Robert<\/strong> <strong>Saleh<\/strong> and <strong>Gus<\/strong> <strong>Bradley<\/strong> were on the coaching staffs that drafted <\/span><b>Bruce Irvin<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Seattle and<\/span><b> Myles Jack<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Jacksonville. Neither is a perfect comparison for Reese \u4e00 he\u2019s kind of a cross between the two \u4e00 but those prior selections demonstrate Saleh and Bradley\u2019s willingness to develop players who don\u2019t fit conventional molds.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Jeremiyah Love<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The best way to protect <\/span><b>Cam Ward<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and create a more favorable offensive environment for his development would be to improve the rushing attack.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>David Bailey or Rueben Bain: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If <\/span><b>Arvell Reese<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is gone, the Titans might turn their attention to the next best edge rusher on the board. Bailey has a higher ceiling and would likely be preferred to Bain.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Francis Mauigoa or Spencer Fano<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The Titans signed left tackle <strong>Dan Moore Jr<\/strong>. last offseason and drafted <strong>JC<\/strong> <strong>Latham<\/strong> in the first round in 2024, so there\u2019s already a lot invested in the tackle position.

The fact that no one has been added in free agency indicates it's a position the team is hoping to address through the draft.
