Raiders draft countdown: Todd Christensen is best No. 46

Forty-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, March 8, the number is 46.

Todd Christensen, No. 46

Todd Christensen is the pick for No. 46 because he turned into one of the most productive tight ends in Raiders history and did it on championship teams. From 1979-1988, he became a featured target, a chain mover, and a weekly mismatch in the middle of the field.
