The Las Vegas Raiders didn't set themselves or Ashton Jeanty up for success by selecting him with the No. 6 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. By taking him so early, the expectations around the young player were heightened, and the Raiders also missed out on several game-changing offensive linemen.

Raider Nation has been reluctant to blame Jeanty very much, as they can see clearly that the offensive line is a disaster.
