The Las Vegas Raiders brought in Pete Carroll and John Spytek last offseason to fix things. While they got to work during free agency and made a few trades as well, their first true building block for the future was bound to come in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Defying conventional wisdom, the four-win Raiders selected running back Ashton Jeanty with the No. 6 overall pick. That choice was met with plenty of criticism, but the pairing clearly felt strongly about finding a surefire solution to its league-worst rushing attack from the year prior.
Due to no fault of his own, Jeanty wasn't able to turn Las Vegas' run game around, as the Raiders finished dead last in the league in rushing once again.
