Raiders’ Rookie Wave Hits Hard | Las Vegas Raiders News

The Las Vegas Raiders are reloading with a rookie-heavy roster, drafting ten players and keeping nine on the 53-man squad—eight of whom will suit up Week One. With nearly half the team coming from the last three drafts, this is a youth-driven rebuild. QB Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 pick, may sit behind veteran Kirk Cousins to start, while safety Treydan Stukes and RB Mike Washington Jr. (injured starter’s spot) are poised for big roles. Cornerback Hezekiah Masses and WR Malik Benson also look primed for immediate impact. This isn’t just about the future—it’s about young talent stepping up now to shape a new era for the Raiders.
