Raiders' 2026 Draft: High-ceiling defense anchors a QB-driven rebuild

Las Vegas used 10 picks to lean into a defense-first rebuild around franchise QB Fernando Mendoza, with standout best-in-class selections Jermod McCoy, Mike Washington Jr., and Brandon Cleveland. The Raiders traded up for McCoy at No. 101, added speed with Washington Jr. at No. 122, and landed a stout nose tackle in Cleveland, while Keyron Crawford and Dalton Johnson address development needs. Hezekiah Masses and Malik Benson are sleepers who could contribute early on special teams and depth at receiver. Overall, the draft emphasizes defensive upside while continuing to build around Mendoza.

Raiders roll the dice on Jermod McCoy after rare knee graft

Las Vegas drafted Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy in the fourth round despite a knee injury 15 months earlier that required an osteochondral graft (cartilage plug). Medical expert Dr. David J. Chao explained the graft and warned it could limit his durability, labeling him more of a Day 3 pick due to long-term concerns. The Raiders pursued him to address a cornerback need, but the team also contends with Maxx Crosby’s degenerative knee issues.

McCoy Embraces Raiders Opportunity After ACL Setback

Cornerback Jermod McCoy, who missed the 2025 season with a torn ACL after two strong college seasons, was drafted 101st overall by the Las Vegas Raiders in the 2026 NFL Draft. He says he’s mentally resilient and will do whatever the Raiders’ medical staff require to get back on the field, stressing that this opportunity isn’t something to take for granted. He’s set to reunite with Tennessee teammate Dont’e Thornton Jr. and recalled his first college interception against Mendoza as a reminder of the journey ahead.

Raiders snag McCoy in Round 4 after knee-surgery uncertainty from medical recheck

UT cornerback Jermod McCoy slipped from first-round projections after a medical recheck suggested he could need knee surgery. The Raiders traded up to draft him in the fourth round, hopeful he can contribute after missing time with an ACL tear. A report indicated he might require surgery to repair a bone plug used for a cartilage defect, which could sideline him for extensive periods in 2026, but McCoy says his doctors are confident and he’s willing to do whatever’s best for his career longevity.

McCoy's First-Round Hopes Fade Amid Knee Concerns Ahead of Round 4

Former Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy, once a favored first-round pick, went without a selection through Rounds 1–3 and now heads into Day Three with serious knee concerns after an ACL tear in 2025; doctors worry about a possible second surgery to repair a bone plug for a cartilage defect, and if it doesn’t go well his NFL future could be uncertain, making a fourth-round projection the most likely outcome.

Packers Could Leap Up in 2026 Draft for Jermod McCoy If He Falls

Green Bay could be forced to trade up in the 2026 NFL Draft to land Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy if he slides into the mid-to-late first round; his ACL injury last year raises durability concerns, but his Pro Day and elite traits keep him in play. With no first-round pick until 2028 after trading for Micah Parsons, a high-risk, high-reward buy-low move could be on the table if McCoy falls, though concerns about health and his agent complicate the decision.

No. 10 Dilemma: Bengals weigh defense-first impact vs. offensive fireworks

Kickoff to a five-part Bengals draft series as Cincinnati weighs what to do at No. 10: chase elite defensive playmakers like Rueben Bain, Jermod McCoy and Caleb Downs, or add offensive punch (e.g., Jeremiyah Love). A nine-player “big board” guides the discussion, with McCoy emerging as the most likely top-10 fit given the team’s defensive emphasis and the complexities of trading back.
