Understandably, the focus of the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2026 rookie draft class is on No. 1 overall pick, quarterback Fernando Mendoza and when he may take over as the starter.

However, there are also other members of the Raiders’ draft class who have a chance to play a lot this season and start a lot of games.

Among those players include second-round pick, defensive back Treydan Stukes, third-round pick, offensive lineman Trey Zuhn, fourth-round pick, Jermod McCoy and fifth-round pick Zeke Masses.

Other rookies such as third-round pick, pass rusher Keyron Crawford, fourth-round pick, running back Mike Washington and sixth-round pick, wide receiver Malik Benson all have a chance to play a lot but more be more role and rotational players.

So, we want to know, which Raiders’ draft pick do you think will start the most games this season. The choices are going to be Mendoza, Stukes, Zuhn, McCoy (who has a chance to play a lot if he is healthy) and Masses, who was getting some run with the first-team defense in the mandatory minicamp.
