2025 NFL Mock Draft: Las Vegas Raiders roll with running back

Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

Issues change fairly fast within the NFL.

If seven years in the past you advised me “Pete Carroll and Tom Brady workforce up for the NFL franchise in Las Vegas” I in all probability would’ve been amazed Brady ever thought of quarterbacking anyplace however New England.

However right here we’re in what seems like 12 months certainly one of Brady actually having, in accordance with some studies, important affect over the soccer selections of the Las Vegas Raiders. His first large name was hiring Pete Carroll in an try and carry stability to a corporation that has had something however as of late.

Whereas the decision to usher in Carroll was seemingly Brady’s, I consider he’ll let Pete run issues from right here on out. Pete’s choose on this draft is Ashton Jeanty, RB Boise State.

Carroll has all the time had a penchant to emphasise working again expertise whereas devaluing offense line expertise. His checklist of drafted working backs in premium rounds consists of:

-Zach Charbonnet (2nd spherical)

-Kenneth Walker (2nd spherical)

-Rashaad Penny (1st spherical)

-CJ Prosise (third spherical)

-Christine Michael (2nd spherical)

Additionally they after all went out and obtained Marshawn Lynch from the Payments.

Level is, Pete was in all probability forward of the sport on this latest RB revolution within the league.

What about want? Las Vegas completed lifeless final in dashing yards final season with 1,357. They might’ve completed final in dashing touchdowns as properly (10) if the workforce down in Arlington wasn’t trotting out the ghost of Zeke Elliott and ending with solely 6 workforce dashing TDs. Las Vegas additionally solely had TWO runs of 20+ yards by RBs. Tying them in final with the Chiefs.

New (quickly to be prolonged) QB Geno Smith wants a reliable possibility within the backfield if the Raiders hope to make any noise within the loaded AFC West this 12 months. With Jeanty, the Raiders go from a prepare wreck to considerably watchable.

Someplace, I’d wish to assume the ghost of Al Davis approves of the choose.

Simply win, child.
