Segment number two, we'll talk about who stood out, what stood out, about the overall theme of what the Raiders were able to do in the 2026 NFL draft. We talked about it for a long time, right? And now we actually know the results.

We speculated on who we thought was going to go, why they should go.

Now it's, all time, right? Now we actually know the results. We speculated on who we thought was going to go, why they should go. Now it's all right, who went and why? That'll be in segment number two, talk about the overall theme of the 2026 NFL draft class. Here in segment number one, news and notes of the day, and you guessed it, it's all about the 26 NFL draft when it comes to the silver and black. So the

Raiders went into the draft having 10 selections. They came out with 10 selections. They had one

two in the fifth round, a six and a seventh round pick. So moving and shaking, John Spitech

showed that he didn't have any problem trading up. He didn't have any problem trading back and came away with who he believed was the best overall draft class for the Raiders. So, well, I mean, off top, the number one overall pick. We talked about him, obviously, on Thursday, on Friday show. Well, every day, actually, we talked about Fernando Mendoza. That was easy. So it was all about what were they going to do after Fernando Mendoza? Because we all knew that that was going to be a done deal records, and it was on Thursday. So we had a lot of expectations.

He's a really good player.

We'll talk about more in segment number two.

Thought the Raiders could sit there at 36 and boom, go ahead and get him, be the nose tackle,

defensive tackle for that 3-4 defense.
