Raiders chart a three-pronged plan to land a free safety in the 2026 NFL Draft

Las Vegas is weighing three routes to address the lack of a true free safety in the 2026 draft: Plan A would try to reach into the first round for Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman if a favorable trade partner emerges; Plan B would move back to the 50s to draft LSU's A.J. Haulcy, a second-round-grade ballhawk; Plan C would target TCU's Bud Clark around pick 67 and consider trading back to collect more picks, with depth in the class and draft value guiding the decisions.
