Mendoza is a number one overall pick which usually portends to a secure future as a fantasy quarterback. How good depends on his landing spot. Vegas needs a lot of help, especially at receiver. Bringing in Kirk Cousins is a big boost to his prospects. Mendoza will be watched with interest.

It's only a matter of time before Mendoza is starting, and I'm a big believer in Klint Kubiak's ability to set the Raiders offense up for years of success.

All he did was step up and prove himself at every turn last year at Indiana. Can't deny he seems to have an "it" factor.

Mendoza's not much of a runner, which caps his upside. I see him as a mid QB2 once he takes the reins from Kirk Cousins, assuming the Raiders' offensive line continues to improve.
