STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Mendoza hasn't started yet, but Raiders' trajectory looks promising with him.

The Raiders' No. 1 overall pick has not yet received his first NFL start, but the source notes there is 'plenty to like about where the Raiders are headed' once Mendoza gets on the field; most teams with rookie quarterbacks drafted this high rarely make the playoffs in their first season, but the organization is positioned to develop him long-term.
