Raiders set sights on six offensive prospects at 2026 NFL Combine

Las Vegas heads to Indianapolis with the No. 1 pick in mind and targets six offensive prospects to bolster the offense: QB Diego Pavia (Vanderbilt); RB Jadarian Price (Notre Dame); WR Elijah Sarratt (Indiana); TE Kenyon Sadiq (Oregon); OL Emmanuel Pregnon (Oregon); and OT Francis Mauigoa (Miami).
