Forty-two 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, March 12, the number is 42.
Ronnie Lott, No. 42
Ronnie Lott, known as “Mad Dog,” is the pick for No. 42 because his Raiders run was short but still separated by Hall of Fame impact and immediate production. In 1991 and 1992, Lott brought leadership, toughness, and elite instincts to the Raiders secondary.
