Las Vegas Raiders eye defensive end Dylan Stewart in 2027 mock draft

In CBS’s latest mock draft for the 2027 NFL Draft, the Las Vegas Raiders are projected to select South Carolina edge rusher Dylan Stewart with the No. 5 overall pick. Stewart, a 6‑foot‑5, 245‑pound defender, recorded 11 sacks, 22.5 tackles for loss and six forced fumbles over two collegiate seasons, posting pass‑rush win rates of 16.6% and 13.1% in 2024 and 2025. Analysts cite his athleticism, ability to line up from the 5 to the 9 technique and occasional coverage duties as reasons he could become an impact player and a top‑10 selection.

Separately, fantasy football analysts have released a list of rookie players to avoid in 2026 dynasty drafts. The list includes running backs Jadarian Price (SEA), Kenyon Sadiq (NYJ), Jonah Coleman (DEN), Emmett Johnson (KC) and Mike Washington Jr. (LV), with experts recommending instead a focus on wide receivers and other positions for early‑round picks.
