From the article

You drafted him with the No. 1 pick, presumably because you believe him to be your quarterback of the future. So you need to balance short-term with long-term. And my understanding is that Klint Kubiak is putting an emphasis on long-term planning, long-term success.

NeutralDepth Chart

No. 1 pick Mendoza sits behind Cousins; long-term development prioritized over rushing.

No. 1 overall pick expected to sit and learn behind veteran Kirk Cousins to start the season. Former Raiders executive Amy Trask supports the decision, noting the team drafted Mendoza as their quarterback of the future but must balance short-term performance with long-term development under head coach Klint Kubiak's emphasis on long-term planning and success. The Raiders are in rebuild mode targeting contention in the next few seasons, and Mendoza's confidence should not be shaken early despite having the personality to handle it.
