Fifty-six days remain until the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, Pa., April 23-25, 2026. After a 3-14 season in 2025, the Las Vegas Raiders hold the No. 1 overall pick as this daily countdown continues through the franchise’s best players by jersey number.
Today, Feb. 26, the number is 56.
Derrick Burgess, No. 56
Derrick Burgess is the pick for No. 56 because he gave the Raiders game-changing edge production in a short window. From 2005-2008, he was the defenses most consistent pressure player and one of the few weekly problems for opposing quarterbacks.
Burgess played 56 games for the Raiders and started 52.
