The NFL combine is here, with plenty of intriguing names after Fernando Mendoza

The Las Vegas Raiders hold the top overall pick among 319 prospects at the NFL Combine where teams assess speed, strength, and football IQ for the 2026 draft.

  • Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza is the likely first overall pick for the Las Vegas Raiders, who hold the No. 1 selection, at the combine at Lucas Oil Stadium.
  • Quarterback evaluations show quarterback depth beyond Fernando Mendoza is fuzzy, creating uncertainty after the top pick as pundits debate non-QB prospects and edge rushers.
  • Prospects run drills including the 40-yard dash and standing long jump while meeting NFL franchises for interviews, with three more days of measuring speed, strength, and agility to follow.
  • Several edge rushers, including Arvell Reese, David Bailey, and Rueben Bain Jr., are receiving high marks, influencing draft value early in the process.
  • The NFL Network will stream and televise the combine Thursday through Sunday, and Mendoza is scheduled to throw at Indiana's pro day on April 1.
