Projected #1 pick Fernando Mendoza visiting Raiders next week + What went wrong for Packers in 2025? (4/3 Hour 2)

This Friday edition of PFT Live dives into the latest NFL draft speculation, focusing on projected #1 pick Fernando Mendoza's upcoming visit to the Raiders. Hosts Mike Florio and Michael Hawley discuss the significance of the 30-team visits, emphasizing that the Raiders' interest in Mendoza is likely about relationship-building and confirmation rather than elimination. They explore the possibility of Tom Brady offering mentorship, despite his absence from league meetings, and reflect on the Raiders' 2025 season, including their controversial decision to rest key players. The episode then shifts to a deep dive into the Packers' underperformance in 2025, with insights from Matt LaFleur’s candid comments about player buy-in, role clarity, and team culture. The hosts analyze the pressure on LaFleur and other NFC North coaches, particularly Dan Campbell, whose Lions are under immense pressure to deliver a Super Bowl run after their 2023 NFC Championship loss. The segment concludes with a critical look at the NFL’s ongoing labor standoff with the NFL Referees Association, where the league is preparing for a potential lockout by training replacement officials, and a fiery debate over the Rooney Rule, with the hosts condemning political posturing and calling for bold leadership from the NFL to defend diversity in hiring.
