Fernando Mendoza Expected to Go No. 1 to Las Vegas Raiders

Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza is widely expected to be the No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, with the Las Vegas Raiders seen as his likely destination. Mendoza led the Hoosiers to a 16-0 record and a national title, fulfilling all criteria for a franchise quarterback. He has opted not to throw at the combine, preferring to wait for his pro day in April. The Raiders will continue their evaluation process to confirm Mendoza as their top choice, or consider trading the pick for draft compensation.
