The Las Vegas Raiders were idle on Sunday and play on Monday Night Football, but the team’s next two games will have some major 2026 NFL draft implications. The Raiders are one of five two-win teams that are trailing the one-win Tennessee Titans, so a win tonight will put the No. 1 pick virtually out of reach. Also, Las Vegas hosts the 2-8 Cleveland Browns next Sunday, where a top-five selection could be on the line.
With that, let’s look at the updated Top 10 order for the draft, via Tankathon.

Just four games into the 2025 campaign, the Las Vegas Raiders dug themselves into quite the turnover-takeaway hole at 10 giveaways while taking the ball away from the opposition just four meager times.
In that timeframe, there were three- and four-turnover outings in Week 2 and Week 4 losses to the Los Angeles Chargers (20-9) and Chicago Bears (25-24), respectively.
Since then, however, the Raiders staunched the bleeding.
That turnover/takeaway ratio now sits at 14-10, thanks in large part to single-digit giveaways since Week 5. While the Silver & Black’s overall record is still basura at 2-7 overall, quelling costly...

It’s Week 11 and the Las Vegas Raiders are set to take on the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. However, just about all of your questions for this week’s mailbag are about the offseason, so let’s dive into the NFL draft, free agency and coaching decisions!
Q: Are you in favor of waiting a year to draft a quarterback, starting Geno Smith for another season with the goal to go after CJ Carr in 2027?
A: I’d like to see the Raiders at least explore this quarterback class, and if there isn’t one that they like or they aren’t...

The Las Vegas Raiders’ offensive line has struggled for most of the season. It has started to leak into the passing game with the absence of Kolton Miller. His replacement is Stone Forsythe, who has allowed 14 pressures and a pass-blocking efficiency of 94.8.
Miler has been on IR since week 4 of the 2025 season. While the team’s record suggests that the Raiders will decide to keep him off the field head coach Pete Carroll had a different tone. During his press conference Saturday Carroll was asked about the status of Kolton Miller. He expects a return of Kolton...

The Las Vegas Raiders are getting ready for their Monday Night showdown with the Dallas Cowboys. It will be in front of the home crowd, but based on the team’s record, it could be mostly Cowboys fans.
Chip Kelly and the Raiders offense will hope to bounce back after another bad performance. It was the third game of the season in which they scored seven points or fewer, and they are currently 31st in points per game. If they can’t move the ball, it will be pressure on a defense that is facing one of the most explosive offenses in...

The 31st-ranked offense versus the 31st-ranked defense under the Monday night primetime lights.
That’s likely not the Week 11 marquee matchup NFL schedule makers wanted, but 11 weeks into the 2025 season, that’s the basic gist of the Las Vegas Raiders playing host to the Dallas Cowboys.
We’ll see Chip Kelly’s Raiders offense — scoring a meager 139 total points (31st amongst the 32 teams) — clashing with Matt Eberflus’ Cowboys defense — allowing a staggering 277 total points (31st among the 32). Las Vegas is averaging just 15.4 points per game (just slightly ahead of the Tennessee Titans who...

It’s widely expected that the Las Vegas Raiders’ rookie guard Caleb Rogers is set to make his regular-season debut in Week 11 on Monday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys.
The Raiders’ starting guards Dylan Parham and Jackson Powers-Johnson are banged up, and Powers-Johnson could be out for the rest of the season after getting placed on injured reserve. Additionally, Rogers said earlier this week that he’s going to start on Monday night.
That news should make Raider Nation happy, as a large portion of the fanbase has, understandably, grown frustrated with the fact that the third-round pick has been...

It’s Saturday and time for our weekly tradition of predictions this week’s Las Vegas Raiders’ game
While the Raiders are having a rough season at 2-7 and riding an 8-1 record predicting their games. Next up is the Dallas Cowboys at home Monday night.
The Cowboys aren’t doing much better than Las Vegas as they return from their bye at 3-5-1.
This is an interesting matchup of two well-rested teams (Dallas has 14 days off and the Raiders 11). The Raiders can’t score and the Dallas can’t stop anyone on defense. The Raiders have scored 10 points or less four...

No matter what Chip Kelly is cooking up for his Las Vegas Raiders offense this coming Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys, tight end Brock Bowers better be a main ingredient.
Because three targets resulting in one reception for 31 yards for 22-year-old phenom in the Thursday night 10-7 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 10 is a gross misallocation of valuable resources.
Granted, Denver does own the NFL’s third-ranked defense — in terms of points and yards allowed — and the sixth-ranked pass defense — in terms of yards yielded. And the whipping wind in Mile High as...

Week 11 pits the Las Vegas Raiders against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football, after both teams underwent some changes during the trade deadline. The Raiders were sellers and traded away Jakobi Meyers while the Cowboys were looking to improve their defense, most notably by bringing in defensive tackle Quinnen Williams.
To preview the contest, Silver and Black Pride reached out to our friends at Blogging the Boys, and David Halprin was kind enough to answer some questions about the Cowboys for Raider Nation.
**Q: Raiders fans can relate to their team trading its best defensive player and an...
