Where do the Raiders land in post-draft NFL Power Rankings?

The Las Vegas Raiders have a mountain to climb to return to Super Bowl contention. According to CBS Sports' Pete Prisco, the Raiders approach next season as the No. 28 ranked team in the league following the 2026 NFL Draft.

The Raiders improved their roster in this year's draft. Las Vegas added a franchise quarterback with their selection of Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 overall pick. The Raiders also drafted who many regarded as the No. 3 running back in this year's draft class, Mike Washington Jr.

The biggest splash on offense for Las Vegas in the open market prior to the draft was center Tyler Linderbaum. Las Vegas did sign Kirk Cousins just before they drafted Mendoza, giving them a sure quarterback room for next season. The Raiders opted not to sign a marquee free agent wide receiver or draft one high in the draft.

Aside from Mendoza, the Raiders mostly addressed their secondary in the draft, with four defensive backs selected.

Even with the abundance of young talent that Las Vegas has added in the draft and the undrafted free agent market, the Raiders' roster still needs more refining. Las Vegas and their new-look roster will need to prove themselves as a winning unit next season.
