Early thoughts on Raiders drafting Ashton Jeanty

The Las Vegas Raiders took the player everyone expected them to take for the past several months as they selected Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty with the No. 6 overall draft pick.

Here are some initial thoughts:

I love it:

This was an easy one. Yes, Jeanty was the most mocked player to the Raiders and it was for good reason. He is a special player. So, you him. Kudos to the Silver and Black for not making it complicated. He was one of the best players available in this draft and he plays at a need position, so take him.
