The NFL Draft is here, with a three-day extravaganza beginning Thursday.
Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza is widely expected to be chosen No. 1 by the Las Vegas Raiders. The last quarterback selected No. 1 by the Raiders was JaMarcus Russell in 2007. He went on to make 25 starts across three seasons. Hopefully for Raiders fans, things work out a little bit better this time.
