Los Raiders terminaron su participación en el draft 2025 de la NFL eligiendo a un total de once jugadores, marcando la primera vez desde el 2007 que obtuvieron a esa cantidad de prospectos por medio del draft.
Comenzaron la sexta ronda haciéndose del tackle defensivo JJ Pegues de Ole Miss con la selección 180. Comenzó su carrera colegial con Auburn, donde fue ala cerrada en su campaña de novato en el 2021, pero hizo la transición a la línea defensiva el siguiente año. Se transfirió a Ole Miss en el 2022, donde fue titular sus últimas dos campañas colegiales, destacando el haber conseguido 13 y media tacleadas para pérdida de yardaje en el 2024. Acumuló al menos tres capturas en cada una de sus temporadas con los Rebeldes.
Llama la atención que su pasado como jugador ofensivo fue capitalizado por Lane Kiffin y el ataque de Mississippi, quienes lo utilizaron en situaciones de yardaje corto en la formación de 'gato salvaje', siendo exitoso a tal grado que terminó anotando 7 touchdowns en el 2024.
Posteriormente, los Malosos tomaron a dos mariscales de campo con las selecciones compensatorias de la sexta ronda con las que contaban: Tommy Mellot con el pick 213 y Cam Miller con el 215.
Mellot de la Universidad Estatal de Montana fue el ganador del trofeo Walter Payton que reconoce al mejor jugador ofensivo en el nivel FCS tras lanzar para 1956 yardas, 22 anotaciones y sólo una intercepción, además de correr para 640 yardas y 11 touchdowns en la temporada regular. En su 'pro day' también se ejercitó como receptor abierto, así que existe la posibilidad de cambiar de posición como profesional.
Por su parte, Miller de North Dakota State comandó al Bison a dos títulos nacionales del FCS en el 2022 y 2024. Cerró su carrera colegial con su mejor temporada al lanzar para 3251 yardas, 33 touchdowns y sólo 4 intercepciones, mientras que corrió el balón 145 veces para 631 yardas y 12 anotaciones. Impuso marcas de la escuela en su acumulado durante los cuatro años como mariscal de campo titular del equipo en yardaje aéreo (9,720), pases completos (759) y ofensiva total (11,997).
La última selección de Las Vegas en este draft fue el linebacker Cody Lindenberg de la Universidad de Minnesota con el pick 222 de la séptima ronda. Entre las temporadas 2023 y 2024 promedió cerca de 8 tacleadas por partido, siendo un jugador habilidoso en contra del ataque aéreo y terrestre del rival.
