The Las Vegas Raiders took a fairly large gamble on Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. For as bad as the team has been, conventional wisdom would have indicated that they should draft a player who plays a more impactful position.
However, the Raiders had the worst rushing attack in the league last season, by a significant margin, so the team remained firm in its belief that fixing their worst attribute was well worth a premier draft pick.
Unfortunately, Las Vegas' dreadful offensive line play has led to Jeanty being underwhelming for much of the first half of the season.
