To nobody’s surprise, the Las Vegas Raiders kicked off the 2026 NFL Draft by selecting Heisman-winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the first overall pick.

With what they hope to be their franchise quarterback now in the door, along with having spent plenty of money this offseason to help shore up weaknesses, general manager John Spytek still had work to do in the later rounds.

Headed into day two of the NFL Draft with one pick in each of the second and third rounds (No. 36 and No. 67), they agreed to send pick 36 to the Houston Texans for picks 38 and 91.

Here’s a full rundown of who they selected with their three picks on day two.

Round 2, Pick 38: DB Treydan Stukes (Arizona)

A three-time team captain for the Arizona, Stukes managed to stretch his four-season eligibility over the course of six seasons for the Wildcats. That was accomplished by redshirting after appearing in three games as a walk-on in 2020 and a knee injury that limited him to four showings in 2024.

Starting in all 10 games he played last season, the 6’0 versatile defender recorded 52 tackles, four interceptions, and one sack, earning him Third-Team Associated Press All-American honors.

Recording a 4.33 in the 40-yard dash at the combine added to Stukes’s intrigue, a skill set he’ll now bring to Las Vegas.

Round 3, Pick 67: DE Keyron Crawford (Auburn)

Crawford (22) began his collegiate career with two seasons at Arkansas State before transferring to Auburn, where he impressed against SEC competition in his junior and senior campaigns.

Standing 6’4″, he started in all 12 appearances last season while managing 36 tackles. Nine of those were for losses with five sacks, along with one interception and a forced fumble.

His efforts earned him Third-Team All-SEC honors and an early third-round selection in the NFL draft.

Round 3, Pick 91: G Trey Zuhn III (Texas A&M)

Notoriously having a horrific offensive line, Spytek addressed that issue with sizeable free-agent additions, then added to their depth at this spot in the draft.

Zuhn III (23) spent five consecutive years with the Aggies, an abnormality in modern post-NIL college sports, after redshirting in 2021.

Last season, the 6’6″ lineman started 13 games with 11 coming at left tackle and two showings as A&M’s center.

He earned shared honors of the Jacobs Blocking Trophy, awarded to the top SEC offensive lineman, with Alabama’s Kadyn Proctor.

With one day and four rounds still yet to take place, the Raiders currently own picks No. 102, 117, 134, 175, 185, 208, and 219.
