This offseason, the Las Vegas Raiders had a mission to fix several key areas that tanked their 2024.
At quarterback, the Raiders made a trade for Geno Smith that guarantees the team has at least acceptable play under center. To remedy the league’s worst rushing attack, the team drafted Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty with the sixth overall pick in the draft. For better leadership on the field and in the front office, the team landed on former Super Bowl winners in head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Spytek.
All of this was geared towards the goal of improvement, and one analyst believes they have accomplished that.
