With their second of three picks in the sixth round, the Las Vegas Raiders selected receiver Tommy Mellott from Montana State.

Mellott is the second FCS prospect the Raiders have drafted this year. He won the Walter Payton Award in 2024, given to the top offensive player in all of FCS football. The FCS All-American also worked out as a receiver as a Pro Day, potentially switching positions at the next level.

Last season, he threw for 2,138 yards with a 22:1 touchdown to interception ratio.
