The Las Vegas Raiders entered the 2025 NFL Draft with several needs.
The team had the No. 6 pick in the first round and had the opportunity to add an elite player. That's exactly what the team did by selecting Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty. Jeanty is arguably the top talent in this draft, and was a Heisman Trophy finalist in 2024.
In 2024, the Raiders had the worst rushing attack in the league. That definitely won't be the case in 2025 with Jeanty taking over. The Boise State product rushed for an FBS-leading 2,601 yards in 2024.
In the second round, the team added another target for Geno Smith in TCU wide receiver Jack Bech. Bech is a solid route-runner with sure hands who joins elite tight Brock Bowers and solid veteran receiver Jakobi Meyers.
In the third round, the Raiders had three picks to use. Iowa State corner Darien Porter was the first player taken, and should give the Raiders a starting option on the boundary.
Next, the team took Texas Tech guard Caleb Rogers. The Raiders needed to add depth on the interior, and Rogers could challenge for a starting spot.
Finally, the team added William & Mary tackle Charles Grant. Grant is a massive, physical blocker who could be a reliable swing tackle at worst and a solid starter at best.
Heading into Saturday, the team could still use some help on the defensive line, at edge-rusher, and at least one more cornerback. What picks do the Raiders have left to use?
