Daniel Crockett from California asks:
"Will the organization consider drafting the entire receiving corps from the Indiana Hoosiers championship team to form a passing/receiving combination that Fernando Mendoza knows and trusts?"
While drafting the whole receiving corps might be a little wild, I've mentioned before that it could be in the Raiders' best interest to pair Fernando Mendoza with one of his college receivers.
First off, it would supplement two areas of need for the team. With the No. 1 overall pick and only one quarterback currently on the active roster, all signs point to the Silver and Black selecting Mendoza. And considering the team also has a young and relatively unproven receiving corps, they could add depth to the position through the draft as well.
Additionally, Mendoza's Indiana receivers aren't chopped liver by any stretch of the imagination. Omar Cooper Jr. and Elijah Sarratt were pretty damn good last year – and a huge factor behind Mendoza winning the Heisman Trophy.
Cooper, who exploded for 13 receiving touchdowns and nearly 1,000 receiving yards in 2025, could be feasible at pick No. 36 as he's projected to be a late first-round to early second-round pick. His unique combination of speed and strength at the receiver position gives him the versatility to play outside and in the slot. Sarratt could be an option with the No. 67 pick. His exceptional route running abilities and 6-foot-2 frame resulted in him leading the FBS with 15 touchdown grabs.
Ruben Beltran from California asks:
"Levi, I haven't heard much about the safety room with Isaiah Pola-Mao and Chinn. Do you see us rolling with that group or are there any players that stand out to you in the draft?"
I believe safety might be one of the deepest position groups in this year's draft class, and would be surprised if the Raiders didn't add to their safety room.
Both Isaiah Pola-Mao and Jeremy Chinn seem to thrive as box safeties, combining for 121 solo tackles and seven tackles for loss in 2025, and notched 40 combined run stops, per NFL Next Gen Stats. However, the duo also allowed a 73.75 completion percentage in coverage as nearest defenders. Therefore, finding an ace in coverage in this year's draft class could unlock the entire unit.
Through the first four rounds of the draft, names that stand out include Oregon's Dillon Thieneman (eight career interceptions), Toledo's Emmanuel McNeil-Warren (five career interceptions, 13 pass deflections), TCU's Bud Clark (15 career interceptions) and South Carolina's Jalon Kilgore (eight career interceptions).
"I think we've got to get deeper. It's a good draft for that position," Klint Kubiak said at the Annual League Meeting. "I think we've got three guys that we're working with right now. We've got to continue to build that depth."
Maurice Smith from California asks:
"What is the new coaching staff's plan developmental wise with Dont'e Thornton Jr. and Jack Bech?"
Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton Jr. were top picks for the team in last year's draft, and both had their opportunities to showcase their talents either to start the season or near the tail end. They both offer a different assortment of skills as well, with Bech being a more physical, possession receiver while Thornton, who stands at 6-foot-4, has freakish speed and height.
And yes, both are expected to take a leap going into their sophomore season. However, there isn't necessarily pressure on either to claim the WR1 title yet either.
"We're not going to be an offense where we just stick a guy and he's the number one guy on the outside," Spytek said at the NFL Combine. "I also don't think there's many of those guys walking around on the face of the earth like you're talking about, the true X's. So, if you're lucky enough to get one of them, you hold on to them for dear life. And if you don't, then you make it work with what you've got."
Kubiak echoed Spytek's sentiment this week at the Annual League Meeting when asked if the team will be adding any red zone threats to the receiver room.
"I think, everyone would love the traditional Megatron X in their offense," the head coach said, "You don't see those guys as much. I think you're just trying to get your five best eligibles however you can get them and then go get them open on gameday."
