Two Intriguing Prospects Most Named to the Raiders

You don't need to review the results to find those two linked with Las Vegas -- just about every mock draft has the players tabbed to the Silver and Black.

"Per PFF’s Mock Draft Simulator metrics, Raiders drafters have a penchant for selecting two of the class' most explosive offensive weapons: Ashton Jeanty (39.9%) and Tetairoa McMillan (23.8%)," wrote Cameron. "Either pick would bode well in a Vegas offense desperate for pivotal playmakers outside of Brock Bowers. With Geno Smith secured under center, the Raiders could opt to find a WR1 with McMillan. A true X receiver with impact ability at the catch point, McMillan charted in the 86th percentile in contested catch rate over the past two seasons. 

"However, given the importance of the running game in every team ever coached by Pete Carroll and the prolific running game John Spytek helped author in Tampa Bay last season, Vegas brass would likely sprint the card in to pick Jeanty. Over the past two seasons, no running back in the nation generated more missed tackles forced per attempt (0.40) than the Boise State standout."

Jeanty is considered a generational talent and the best running back to come out since Penn State's Saquon Barkley in 2018. He went second-overall that year to the New York Giants. McMillan is not considered a generational prospect, but a very good one who could provide life to an offense Day 1.
