Ashton Jeanty To Raiders Continues To Gain Steam
4 mins agoBoise State running back and 2024 Heisman Trophy runner-up Ashton Jeanty is expected to be a first-round pick and the first ball-carrier selected in the 2025 NFL Draft. While the explosive runner has been tied to landing spots such as the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos, the Las Vegas Raiders have emerged as the popular destination. The Raiders hold the No. 6 overall pick, and it would be a surprise if he's selected inside the top five. Meanwhile, DraftKings Sportsbook lists the Raiders as -150 favorites to land Jeanty, and ESPN's Field Yates projected Jeanty to land in the Sin City in his recent mock draft. Jeanty was excellent in his final collegiate season, rushing for 2,601 yards and 29 touchdowns. While the Las Vegas offense has struggled in recent years, quarterback Geno Smith, tight end Brock Bowers, and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers provide enough firepower around him if the Raiders' offensive line can achieve at least league-average play. If Jeanty is the pick at No. 6 overall, expect him to be a full-fledged workhorse with immediate high-end RB1 upside for fantasy football.
