Raiders 2026 NFL Mock Draft: Oregon prospects anchor rebuild, Dante Moore No. 1?

The Las Vegas Raiders are in position to control the 2026 NFL Draft after losing ten straight games and currently holding the No. 1 overall pick, a stretch that includes a 34–10 loss to the Giants in Week 17, a team projected to pick second overall. This collapse did not come out of nowhere. Las Vegas has underachieved on both sides of the ball all season, leaving the roster thin, unbalanced, and without a clear foundation piece.

This 2026 NFL Mock draft represents the start of a true rebuild, beginning with a franchise quarterback and followed by critical upgrades in the trenches and the secondary.

Las Vegas Raiders 3-round 2026 NFL Mock draft

Round 1, Pick 1: Dante Moore, QB, Oregon

The Raiders’ quarterback situation is a mess, and it is the primary reason they are in position to hold the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Geno Smith has not been the answer. He leads the NFL with 17 interceptions and owns a 58.2 PFF passer rating, the second-worst mark in the league, narrowly ahead of rookie Cam Ward. Behind him, Kenny Pickett and Aidan O’Connell are career backups. There is no developmental starter on the roster.

That makes this pick straightforward. While Fernando Mendoza is widely projected as the top quarterback in the class, Dante Moore offers the higher ceiling. Moore separates himself with arm talent. His arm strength allows him to attack tight windows and push the ball vertically in ways Mendoza cannot. What truly sets Moore apart is his cleaner, more efficient throwing motion, which gives him the physical foundation NFL teams look for when projecting long-term development. Moore is not a finished product, but his tools and mechanical traits give him the best chance in this class to develop into a true franchise quarterback.

Round 2, Pick 33: Isaiah World, OT, Oregon

If the Raiders want Dante Moore to reach his ceiling, the offensive line has to be fixed immediately. Right now, it is a liability. Las Vegas is allowing the most sacks in the NFL and ranks last in rushing efficiency at 3.6 yards per carry, despite spending the sixth overall pick last year on Ashton Jeanty. The tackle play has been especially bad. Left tackle Stone Forsythe has surrendered 11 sacks, while right tackle DJ Glass has allowed 10. Both spots need to be upgraded.

Isaiah World would provide an immediate improvement at either tackle position. Over the past two seasons, he has allowed just two sacks and has been a key piece of an Oregon offense that consistently runs the ball at a high level, averaging over 210 rushing yards per game. As a pro prospect, World brings rare length at 6-foot-8, 318 pounds and moves exceptionally well for his size. His combination of size, athleticism, and pass protection reliability makes him a logical Day 2 solution for a line in desperate need of stability.

"I'm glad he's (Isaiah World) a Duck. I'm just be completely honest with you, he's one of those game changers, for real. Great athlete, great movement skills, great body control, and he loves the game. I think it's gonna be a really good benefit for all our young guys to see somebody who really loves the game. He's a junkie for football."

Round 3, Pick 65: Davison Igbinosun, CB, Ohio State

After spending their first two picks on offense, the Raiders finally turn to defense in Round 3, where help is badly needed. According to Bleacher Report, cornerback is the team’s second-biggest need, and the numbers back it up. Las Vegas is allowing opposing quarterbacks to complete 69 percent of their passes, the second-worst mark in the NFL. Their 30.4 PFF coverage grade ranks dead last in the league, nearly three points worse than the next closest team.

Davison Igbinosun makes sense as a Day 2 value who can compete early. Entering the 2025 season, he was a player I was high on, naming him to my All-Underrated team, and he followed that up with a strong year. He allowed just 43 percent of passes thrown his way to be completed and consistently challenged receivers at the catch point. Igbinosun brings size, athleticism, and physicality, giving the Raiders a corner who fits the aggressive style their defense is missing.
