0:00It's March 30th. This is NFL News Today, your AI-powered source for everything in NFL. The pride of Detroit just launched their 2026 community mock draft, where fans run the show for 31 teams and writer Eric Schlitt, handles the Detroit Lions. It's a full two-round simulation leading right up to the real NFL draft next year, dropping picks daily until we hit Detroit's turn. Kicking it off, commenter-acumizer rep the Las Vegas Raiders with the first overall selection, grabbing quarterback Fernando Mendoza from Indiana. At six foot five and two hundred twenty five pounds, he's got that prototype size, strong arm, and smarts to thread tight windows. Raiders built around him already, signing top-centered Tyler Linderbaum in free agency, hiring coach Clint Kubiak for a run-heavy play action scheme, and bolstering the defense while keeping Ed star, Max Crosby. Acumizer says Mendoza's poise, leadership, and quick decisions make him the franchise savior. No trauma, or ages, one states, or Anna from Osirah.
