The Las Vegas Raiders have been bad for so long that fans are hardly phased by another brutal season. In fact, they are quite accustomed to following college prospects, revving up the mock draft machine and being on "tank watch" roughly halfway through the campaign every year.
With a 2-7 record and practically no chance of making the playoffs in 2025, Raider Nation has largely begun looking toward the future once again. While not hoping that their team loses each week, fans understand the potential long-term implications of having one of the top picks in next April's draft.
