Raiders Trade Maxx Crosby, Stockpile Draft Picks

About this episode

Las Vegas Raiders Acquire Massive Draft Capital, Positioning for Full Rebuild

The Las Vegas Raiders have significantly bolstered their draft capital by trading edge rusher Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens. In return, they received the fourteenth pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and a first-round choice in 2027. This deal, combined with their existing draft capital, gives them the number one overall pick and two top-half-of-the-first-round selections, along with eleven picks total. This is the most draft capital the Raiders have had in 28 years, ranking them fourth league-wide. Fans and analysts view this as a clear indication of a full rebuild, with the team aiming to fill multiple holes, including quarterback and the lines. The Raiders are expected to select Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the first overall pick and potentially snag four day-one contributors with their multiple top-70 picks. However, the team must use this capital wisely to turn it into wins in the future.
