The Raiders are officially in pole position for the No. 1 overall pick — so now what?
On this episode of the Silver & Black Sports Network Podcast, Jesse Merrick reacts to the Raiders’ loss to the New York Giants and breaks down everything that comes with holding the top pick in the NFL Draft. From draft math to roster implications, this is the clearest look yet at what Las Vegas must do next.
Jesse dives into:
What the Raiders’ path to keeping (or losing) the No. 1 pick looks like
How a win over the Chiefs could impact draft positioning
Fernando Mendoza vs. Dante Moore and how the Raiders will evaluate both
Why shutting Maxx Crosby down isn’t the panic moment it seems — and what his absence exposed defensively
How the Raiders struggled against Jaxson Dart and the Giants offense
Who stepped up offensively without Brock Bowers
With the rebuild officially underway, this episode lays out the reality of where the Raiders stand — and the massive decisions that now define their future.
