Raiders Gain 2 Comp Picks, Hold Most Draft Capital

0:00For the NFL, it's March 9th, and here's what's going on. The Las Vegas Raiders just picked up two compensatory draft picks for 2026, as expected. They got a fourth rounder at number 134, and a fifth rounder at number 175. That brings their total to 11 picks, heading into next year's draft. These compics come from the formula that looks at free agents the team lost and gained last year, plus how those players performed. The Raiders said goodbye to guys like Robert Spalain, K-Levon Sheson, Nate Hobbs, Trayvon Moerig, and Divine Diablo. They brought in Jeremy Chin, Eric Stokes, and Elandon Roberts. Fans and analysts are buzzing because this boosts the Raiders already strong position. They now hold the most draft capital of any NFL team for 2026. 26. It gives new general manager Tom Telesco plenty of ammo to rebuild through the draft. Right now, their haul includes first round picks at number 1 and number 14 from the Max Crosby trade, plus seconds at 36, thirds at 67, and more through the seventh round.

1:05No big changes expected there anytime soon. Looking ahead, don't count on many comp picks for 2027 from this year's free agency moves. The focus stays on making the most of this draft stockpile to turn things around. We'd like to thank our sponsor for making this episode possible. Some chase piece.
