The Las Vegas Raiders needed depth at quarterback and wide receiver heading into the 2025 NFL Draft. While the latter was sewn up with the selections of Jack Bech in the second round and Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the fourth, the former was not addressed until the sixth round.
That's when the team took Montana State quarterback Tommy Mellott, someone whom most fans had not heard of. In typical fashion, Raider Nation got excited about the selection, until just a few minutes later when the team chose North Dakota State quarterback Cam Miller two picks later.
This caused confusion within the fan base until it was clarified that Mellott was going to play wide receiver.
