Tomorrow is the first round of 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, April 22, 2026, the number is 1.
Tre Tucker, No. 1
Only five players have worn No. 1 for the silver and black, and Tre Tucker “Tre” is the answer. In a thin field, he has the clearest impact and the most offensive production.
Tucker has played for the Raiders since 2023 and took another step in 2025. “Tre” has already become a speed element the Raiders can build around.
Why Tucker gets No. 1
Tucker is the best No. 1 because his production already stacks up across a short jersey history. He has 123 catches for 1,566 yards and 10 touchdowns in three Raiders seasons.
Meanwhile, his 2025 line shows the direction, with 57 catches for 696 yards and five scores. For this number, Tre wins on offensive value.
Draft and background
Tucker was born March 8, 2001, in Akron, Ohio. He attended Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy in Ohio, then played at Cincinnati.
The Las Vegas Raiders drafted him in the third round (No. 100 overall) in 2023.

Next up tomorrow: No. 00.
