Kirk Cousins Favored as Raiders QB1 Despite Fernando Mendoza Draft Buzz

Per Rapoport, Cousins is “on track” to start for the Raiders, adding, “the money seems to indicate” he’ll be QB1 despite Mendoza likely being the No.1 pick. Rapoport's comments come after HC Klint Kubiak recently backed the idea of Fernando starting as QB2, saying it’s “ideal” for a rookie to “learn behind somebody,” pointing to a mentor role for a veteran like Cousins.
