Each week leading up to the NFL Draft, Raiders.com will compile the latest mock drafts from top analysts and take a look at who they're predicting the Silver and Black will select with the No. 6 overall pick.
Take a look at the latest projections below.
Pick: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Analysis: "Last in rushing yards per game at 79.8. Last in yards per rush at 3.6. Tied for the second-fewest runs of 10 or more yards with 34. That's what Las Vegas produced on the ground last season. New coach Pete Carroll is going to want much more out of his run game, and Jeanty could immediately flip the script. He displayed excellent speed, contact balance and vision en route to 2,601 rushing yards last season. He could be an elite three-down back in the NFL."
Date: April 8
Pick: Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado (via projected trade to No. 2 with Cleveland Browns)
Analysis: "I've never made a mock trade before this one, but we've never seen a player like Hunter, who registers as the draft's top prospect at both receiver and cornerback. It just so happens that those two positions are two of the Raiders' biggest needs, so they aggressively move up to secure a two-for-one with this pick."
Date: April 8
Pick: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
Analysis: "McMillan is 6-foot-5 but he moves like a shifty slot receiver with the benefit of an enormous catch radius and the ability to make contested catches look easy. Think Drake London but a better athlete."
Date: April 8
Pick: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Analysis: "Jeanty is the NFL Draft's best running back prospect since at least Bijan Robinson/Jahmyr Gibbs. He might be the best we've seen since Saquon Barkley. Regardless of where he fits in that tier, though, he absolutely should be a top-10 pick."
Date: April 7
Pick: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Analysis: "If we know anything about Pete Carroll, it's that he loves to construct his teams around running the football. With a generational talent standing atop a strong running back class, Carroll is in prime position to do just that. Jeanty is the perfect addition for a Raiders team that ranked 31st in yards after contact per attempt (2.5) by running backs in 2024. The prolific Boise State back more than doubled that rate this past season (5.3)."
Date: April 7
Pick: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Analysis: "Many were quick to associate Ashton Jeanty with Las Vegas after the Raiders acquired Geno Smith. The Raiders are clearly trying to position themselves to compete in the next few years and they need more explosiveness on offense. It may be too rich to take a wide receiver here, so a way to address need without steering wide of value is to take Jeanty."
Date: April 4
Pick: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Analysis: "Given his love of the run game, I would assume Pete Carroll can't possibly ignore Jeanty's elite combination of vision, contact balance and burst at this spot."
Date: April 4
Pick: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Analysis: "Ashton Jeanty isn't going to fix the Raiders offense on his own, but he'll improve it. In a draft class that doesn't have many true no-doubters, Jeanty is not only the best player available, but fills a need."
Date: April 4
Pick: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Analysis: "If this were a better year for receiver prospects, the Raiders would jump at the opportunity to give new quarterback Geno Smith another weapon to target. Instead, they'll help Smith by giving him a rugged runner who has an elite blend of strength, burst and vision. Smith had rocky performances for the Seattle Seahawks last year because the team struggled to get the running game going. Jeanty doesn't need much room to churn yards, but he'll have plenty of help on a talented Las Vegas offensive line."
Date: April 3
Pick: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Analysis: "I view Jeanty as a generational player at the running back position. Knowing how much Pete Carroll's teams have relied on the run game over the years, I don't think he'll hesitate if he has the chance to land a workhorse back."
Date: April 3

Pick: Jihaad Campbell, LB, Alabama
Analysis: "Jihaad Campbell is one of the best athletes in this class, but he's far from a project. He's a prototypical three-down linebacker with pass-rushing versatility and impressive coverage instincts for his age. If he continues to develop his processing skills in the run game, Campbell has All-Pro upside. This pick gives Patrick Graham a movable chess piece and a clear upgrade to Devin White and Elandon Roberts."
Date: April 3
Pick: Jalon Walker, EDGE, Georgia
Analysis: "I know there's a lot of speculation that Vegas will take Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, but Walker, the 2024 Butkus Award winner as the nation's top linebacker, is too tempting to miss out on. His production, explosiveness and character have UGA and opposing coaches gushing. If the Raiders aspire to be like the Philadelphia Eagles, getting a game-wrecking defender from Georgia is a good place to start."
Date: April 2
Pick: Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State
Analysis: "I believe Jeanty has the best chance of any player in the class to be a Pro Bowler in Year 1. His rare blend of power, contact balance, explosion and pass-catching ability can keep him on the field for any situation. He could post big numbers in Las Vegas after rushing for 2,601 yards in his final season at Boise State."
Date: April 2
Pick: Armand Membou, OT, Missouri
Analysis: "New Raiders GM John Spytek had a front-row seat to the impact Tristan Wirfs had in Tampa Bay. While Membou isn't quite the prospect Wirfs was, he's a comparable athlete, and that's really saying something."
Date: April 2
Pick: Jalon Walker, LB, Georgia
Analysis: "Ashton Jeanty is my favorite player in the draft, but this running back class is very deep. Walker is a hybrid edge/linebacker with the talent and football character to be a building block for the Raiders' current reset."
Date: April 1
