The Las Vegas Raiders found their new backup quarterback on Monday after reaching a deal with the Cleveland Browns for Kenny Pickett.
The trade saw the Raiders give up a 2026 fifth-round pick for Pickett, who will now replace Aidan O'Connell after he suffered a fractured wrist in the preseason Week 3 game against the Arizona Cardinals that will keep him out six to eight weeks.
With that draft pick subtracted, here's the updated list of Raiders 2026 selections, including projected compensatory picks that come via Over The Cap:
Raiders 2026 NFL draft picks
- Round 1
- Round 2
- Round 3
- Round 4
- Round 4 (projected comp pick)
- Round 5 (projected comp pick)
- Round 6
- Round 7
The projected compensatory selections come from the free-agent departures of safety Tre'von Moehrig to the Carolina Panthers (Round 4) and cornerback Nate Hobbs (Round 5) to the Green Bay Packers.
With the trade to the Raiders, Pickett joins an exclusive club. He is one of just two NFL players in the past 30 years to be traded three-plus times within his first four seasons in the NFL, joining Sam Howell.
Pickett was first traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2024, and then the Eagles flipped him to the Browns in 2025.
If Pickett gets traded just one more time, he'll tie the NFL record for being traded the most times. That record is held by Brandin Cooks and Eric Dickerson, both of whom were traded four times.
