RAIDERS SQUAD SHOW: Las Vegas RAIDERS switching to 3-4 DEFENSE | MENDOZA top PROSPECT in DRAFT?

On this episode of Raiders Squad Show, Lincoln Kennedy, Q Myers, and Shantelle Chand break down everything from Klint Kubiak’s media session to the Raiders’ potential draft and free agency moves. Kubiak discusses Rob Leonard’s transition to a 3-4 base defense and what that schematic shift means for Maxx Crosby and the defensive front. He also shares his thoughts on JPJ and the offensive line, what stands out about quarterback Fernando Mendoza, and why he says he “signed up for a challenge” in Las Vegas. Plus, GM John Spytek expresses confidence that Maxx Crosby will remain in the Silver & Black, emphasizing their strong relationship and Crosby’s daily presence in the building. With 10 draft picks this year, could the Raiders be aggressive and make a trade before or during the NFL Draft? We debate which position makes the most sense to target. The Titans have released center Lloyd Cushenberry after his 4-year, $50 million deal — should the Raiders pursue him, or is Tyler Linderbaum the real priority in free agency? And with ESPN’s Dan Graziano reporting that Las Vegas is one of four teams in the mix for Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr., we discuss whether trading for the talented wide receiver makes sense given his team-friendly contract. Finally, Mel Kiper calls Fernando Mendoza the best player in the draft — we play the audio and react live. Is the hype real? Raider Nation, tap in and join the conversation.
