2025 NFL mock draft

Things are looking up for the Raiders as new regime delivers a solid NFL Draft
The Las Vegas Raiders just drafted 11 players, their biggest haul since 2007. Raiders fans may not remember that one, thanks to many hours of counseling and bar-sitting spent forgetting about JaMarcus Russell.They got one star player in running back Ashton Jeanty, and another starter in receiver Jack Bech. Bech catches everything and breaks tackles, and while he can’t stretch the field, he has to be in the lineup at this point because the Raiders don’t have much else besides Jakobi Meyers.AdvertisementTwo starters is not normally considered a very good draft haul, but general manager John Spytek and Pete Carroll are banking on the later draft picks’ traits and upside. After a relatively cautious approach to free agency, this is another sign that Spytek and Carroll just want to be more competitive this season before making a big push in […]
