# Jaime Eisner: An unsigned seven-round Raiders mock draft projecting Fernando Mendoza first overall to Las Vegas and nine additional picks, including Denzel Boston in Round 2 and A.J. Haulcy in Round 3. **Claimed:** Mar 31, 2026 **Pundit:** Jaime Eisner — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/pundits/jaime-eisner **Outlet:** The Draft Network — https://missedtakes.thegoodapps.co/outlets/the-draft-network **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.thedraftnetwork.com/2026/03/31/raiders-7-round-nfl-mock-draft-mar-2026 11 checkable claims — 10 mock draft picks and 1 depth chart call — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing bet. It names 11 players and teams, each linked to their own record. 10 of 11 have settled so far, averaging 39.9 out of 100, against 50 for a naive guess at the same calls. > The Las Vegas Raiders will open the 2026 NFL Draft by selecting their new franchise quarterback. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **A.J.
