Mendoza we had ranked at like QB 31. But now at this point, I think Mendoza is going to be very exciting. I'm going to move Fernando Mendoza up into a range where I think he's like QB 17... I have a ton of faith in Fernando Mendoza. I think Mendoza can be a phenomenal quarterback.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Mendoza upgraded to QB 17 range with long-term upside despite transition.

Mendoza becomes the new Raiders QB after Kirk Cousins trade to Minnesota. Speaker has significant faith in Mendoza's long-term potential, calling him 'phenomenal' and expressing excitement about his NFL future. Upgraded from QB 31 ranking to QB 17 range; no longer a benching risk for Cousins. Speaker expects Mendoza to be 'very exciting' and playable in good matchups, though acknowledges short-term growing pains for the Raiders offense. Has a tough Week 1 matchup against Seattle but smooth sailing thereafter.
