How would the first round of the draft look for the Las Vegas Raiders? What are the strengths?
Now, the Raiders will be drafting their first draft class as members under the leadership of Coach Pete Carroll and new general manager John Spytek.
The team now has several new talented young players, who are making them look better for the 2025 season. Tom Brady, a Raiders minority owner, will also be a helping hand in the draft.
The Pro Football Network has released the seven-round mock draft, and here are the details:
1. Las Vegas Raiders: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Reese Decker of Pro-Football Network quoted, “Nobody is better to lead the attack than Jeanty. The 2024 Heisman Trophy runner-up is a bona fide blue-chip prospect and generational talent.” “He is a dynamic playmaker who possesses elite contact balance, remarkable power and durability, dangerous top-end speed, and the ability to flip the field on a single cut.”

2. CBS Sports' Ryan Wilson: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
“McMillan is 6-foot-5, but he moves like a shifty slot receiver with the benefit of an enormous catch radius and the ability to make contested catches look easy. Think Drake London but a better athlete,” Wilson quoted.
3. The 33rd Team's Ian Valentino: Ashton Jeanty, RB Boise State
“There's a lot of smoke to Las Vegas taking Ashton Jeanty, and it'd be a gamble on teams being cool on the receiving class as a whole for them to go for it. I'm buying the NFL, being averse to reaching on receivers in this range, so the Raiders are giddy when the Bears pass on Jeanty. They can look for a pro-ready receiver on Day 2 to pair with him,” Valention said.
4. NFL.com's Chad Reuter: Ashton Jeanty, RB Boise State
According to Reuter, “Given his love of the run game, I would assume Pete Carroll can't possibly ignore Jeanty's elite combination of vision, contact balance, and burst at this spot.”
The analyst has predicted a safe place of No.6 overall pick for the Las Vegas Raiders. According to analyst prediction, the Raiders have a golden opportunity to pick up their best players for the present and future.
