– Mendoza at No. 1? Mel Kiper Jr. says itβs an easy, no-brainer for the Raiders, making it a hot early storyline. π₯
– But the Raidersβ move isnβt a settled lock. Jets X-Factorβs Nick Faria argues Vegas could still opt for Francis Mauigoa or the best defensive player, and even questions whether a head coach hire would tilt toward Mendoza. ππ
– If Vegas passes, Mendoza becomes a dream scenario for the Jets at No. 2, especially with Dante Moore staying in school and the Jets needing long-term QB stability. β‘π¦π½
– Social buzz is real: Garrett Wilson liked an Instagram post hoping Mendoza lands with the Jets, signaling fan-owner interest and excitement. π²π¬
– The trade ripple: A blockbuster swap could reshape the top of the draft. Vegas could ship the No. 1 pick for a haul, maybe letting the Jets vault to No. 2, while Vegas still lands a top non-QB option. It would be wild if Mendozaβs still in play but out of Vegasβ hands. ππ·οΈ
– Takeaway: Mendozaβs status is far from locked in, and big moves could flip the top of the draft in a hurry. The Jets would love to land the Heisman winner, but the path to it is full of twists. ππ
