The Las Vegas Raiders understand good and well that they need to address the safety position in the 2026 NFL Draft.Las Vegas currently has Isaiah Pola-Mao and Jeremy Chinn as well as Terrell Edmunds and Tristin McCollum at safety. However, the Raiders’ front office is intent on adding more players at the position in the draft.At his pre-draft press conference on Tuesday, Raiders general manager John Spytek stated that Las Vegas is keen on adding to their depth chart at safety later on in the draft."Yeah, I think we have three safeties in the roster right now," Spytek said. "We need a few more.

I think it's a good safety class. And from top to bottom, I mean there's some guys that you would expect probably to go in one and all the way through to day three, there's some quality players there. . . overall, obviously it's something we've got to attack, and I'm glad the class looks the way it does."Safeties that the Raiders are likely to see available on Days 2 and 3 of the draft include Treydan Stukes (Arizona), A.J. Haulcy (LSU), Kamari Ramsey (USC), as well as Zakee Wheatley (Penn State).The Raiders recorded the fourth-fewest interceptions in the NFL last season with eight. Las Vegas also allowed the fourth-most receptions of 40 or more yards in 2025 with nine.Spytek will lead the Raiders’ front office through their final days of preparation in lead up to the draft, with safety being one of the positions that Las Vegas will potentially select out for after Day 1 concludes.This article originally appeared on Raiders Wire: Raiders intent on taking a safety in later rounds of 2026 NFL Draft
