This will be an important Combine for Kubiak at the helm, considering the Raiders hold the No. 1 overall pick. While in Indianapolis, he'll get his first glance in person of Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza, who is projected to go first overall.
"Excited to keep learning about him and it's not just me, it's our entire coaching staff," Kubiak said of Mendoza. "I want all of our coaches to get involved, especially at that position. I want everybody's input, but obviously he's been successful. He had a lot of success last year.
"He won a national championship and that's what you want. You want a winner."
And while Mendoza is maybe the most high profile prospect the Raiders might be meeting with this week, Kubiak and Co. will be equally diligent with all of interviews in identifying high character players to bring to Las Vegas.
"I always look at, 'Is this a person I can coach? Is this a coachable person?'" Kubiak said. "When you're talking to them in the interview and you're bringing up their tape, did they have all the answers for you or are they coachable?
"You have an 18-minute window to kind of get into that and see what that person is like. ... Once they're yours, they're yours for a long time and you've got to make sure you can help them get better."
