No. 1 pick Mendoza takes over as Raiders starter after Cousins trade; organization confident in readiness.

The Raiders traded Kirk Cousins to Minnesota, opening the door for No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza to become the starting quarterback. The source notes the Raiders wouldn't have made the trade unless confident Mendoza was ready; Coach Klint Kubiak had consistently emphasized a plan to not rush Mendoza's development. The Raiders have reportedly been pleased with how good Mendoza has looked in recent practice reps, signaling organizational confidence in his readiness despite facing a top-3 toughest schedule of defenses (Seahawks, Broncos, Browns, Chargers) in his starting debut.
