LAS VEGAS -- Four picks down, six to go today for the Las Vegas Raiders.
Fernando Mendoza headlined the draft class for the Raiders on Thursday, and three more players with pathways to significant roles early found their way to Las Vegas on Friday. Now, John Spytek will hope to round out a strong offseason with an excellent final day of the draft.
Check back throughout the day to see what the newest Raiders bring into the fold.
Here is what you need to know about the latest members of the Raiders roster.
Round 4, Pick 101 (from Buffalo): Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee
The Raiders started the day with some early fireworks, moving a seventh-round pick next year to the Buffalo Bills for the right to move up one spot.
Even more explosive was the player they selected, as the Raiders went with McCoy to round out their secondary.
McCoy was a first round-caliber talent with an impressive 2024 season, but a torn ACL ended his 2025 early. Even scarier was that medicals revealed a potentially degenerative condition in his knee, with the fear that he will need a second bone plug to repair any damage done.
This is very much a risk-reward pick for the Raiders, even if McCoy does not play in his rookie campaign. If his knee holds up, this is a steal to begin the day for Spytek.
Round 4, Pick 122 (from Atlanta): Mike Washington Jr., RB, Arkansas
Spytek continues his busy fourth round with another trade, this time with a more substantial rise up the board.
In exchange for moving up 13 picks from 135 to 122, the Raiders also sent pick 208 to the Atlanta Falcons.
With the selection, the Raiders picked one of the best pure athletes in the draft in Washington. Washington lead all draft-eligible running backs with a 9.88 Relative Athletic Score, as the six-foot, 223-pound Arkansas product put up a blistering 4.33-second 40-yard dash time at the Combine.
Washington presents an immediate battery mate in the backfield for Ashton Jeanty, and he will be relied upon in short-yardage situations not unlike how Klint Kubiak used Zach Charbonnet in Seattle.
