Nine draft predictions for Vegas
• 1 min read
The Las Vegas Raiders are beginning a new chapter in 2025. They have a new general manager in John Spytek, a new head coach in Pete Carroll and a new quarterback in Geno Smith, but several holes remain on the roster. Vegas needs some new wide receivers to help out star tight end Brock Bowers in the passing game, and the Raiders could stand to add another running back as well.
What will Vegas do in the 2025 NFL Draft? Real teams are built here, and for Vegas, it starts at No. 6 overall. Could the Raiders be the first team to take a running back, or could they really shake up the draft by selecting a quarterback? Regardless, they will have options, and a whopping nine selections to build up this roster.
