Raiders GM details plans for presumed No. 1 pick, Fernando Mendoza

But whatever direction the Raiders take with the NFL draft’s soon-to-be first overall pick, it will be merit based rather than philosophically driven. In other words, the Raiders are not going to sit the Indiana Heisman Trophy winner just because they’re married to a certain way of thinking.
