Raiders to draft Texas WR Cam Coleman for Fernando Mendoza in ESPN mock
Summary

ESPN's Jordan Reid projects that the Las Vegas Raiders will select Texas wide receiver Cam Coleman in the first round of the 2027 NFL Draft. After drafting quarterback Fernando Mendoza first overall in 2026, the Raiders aim to bolster their wide receiver corps, which currently lacks depth. Coleman, a 6-foot-3 junior who transferred from Auburn, had strong seasons there with 708 yards and five touchdowns last year. If he forms a productive connection with Mendoza, the Raiders could see their offense improve significantly.
