Las Vegas Raiders 2025 draft picks

  • Round 1: No. 6

  • Round 2: No. 37

  • Round 3: No. 68

  • Round 4: No. 108

  • Round 5: No. 143

  • Round 6: Nos. 180, 213, 215

  • Round 7: No. 222

Top three needs: RB, WR, CB. Although they signed running back Raheem Mostert, the Raiders still need help to improve the league's worst rushing attack. Coach Pete Carroll wants to have a strong run game, so adding another running back to help take pressure off quarterback Geno Smith should be a priority.

Las Vegas has two 1,000-yard pass catchers in tight end Brock Bowers and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, but there's a significant drop-off in receiving production outside those players. It wouldn't hurt to add a wide receiver who can stretch the field. -- Ryan McFadden
