The Las Vegas Raiders are attempting to accelerate their rebuild under new head coach Pete Carroll. Instead of targeting a rookie quarterback, the Raiders traded for Geno Smith, reuniting him with Carroll. They plan on contending for the postseason in 2025.

The Raiders have also used free agency to add a guard (Alex Cappa) and safety (Jeremy Chinn). General manager John Spytek owns the No. 6 overall selection and three total top-100 picks. We've conducted a seven-round mock draft that addresses the Raiders’ remaining needs.

Round 1 (No. 6 overall): Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise State

There's been legitimate smoke tying Ashton Jeanty to the Raiders throughout this process and I could see the old-school Carroll pulling the trigger. The offense finished dead last in rushing last season, averaging just 79.8 rushing yards per game. That will not appease Carroll, who believes in establishing the run. Jeanty would offer Chip Kelly's offense a legitimate three-down workhorse in the backfield for Smith to lean on.

Round 2 (No. 37 overall): Jayden Higgins, WR, Iowa State

Trading Davante Adams created a long-term need at receiver. Smith needs more than Brock Bowers in the passing game. Jayden Higgins increased his pre-draft stock at the NFL Combine by running a 4.47 and jumping a 39-inch vertical at 6-foot-4 and 214 pounds. Higgins was productive this past season, recording 87 catches for 1,183 yards and nine touchdowns. He's elevated himself into the early second-round conversation, and the Raiders need a receiver with his speed and abilities.

Round 3 (No. 73 overall): Jeffrey Bassa, LB, Oregon

The Raiders lost Robert Spillane in free agency, creating another hole at linebacker. Oregon’s Jeffrey Bassa is explosive and athletic. Bassa possesses upside in coverage and projects as a three-down off-ball defender at the next level.

Round 4 (No. 108 overall): Nohl Williams, CB, California

Carroll's secondary is in rough shape overall and requires more at cornerback. Nohl Williams is incredibly competitive and physical. Williams was better than he gets credit for nationally in 2024, recording seven interceptions and eight pass breakups. Those ball skills will translate.

Round 5 (No. 143 overall): Clay Webb, IOL, Jacksonville State

Last year's starting center was Andre James, who was released by the Raiders earlier this week. That creates a hole at center, where Will Putnam or Dylan Parham could be positioned for a starting role. Either way, better interior offensive line depth is required. Clay Webb competed at this year's Senior Bowl. Webb highlighted his ability to play all three inside positions.

Round 6 (No. 180 overall): Jonas Sanker, SAF, Virginia

Even after signing Jeremy Chinn, Carroll's defense is thin at safety following Tre'Von Moehrig’s departure. Jonas Sanker is a throwback safety with a high-level ability to accumulate tackles in bunches while playing inside the box. Sanker would complement Chinn well after recording more than 200 tackles at Virginia across 2023 and 2024.

Round 6 (No. 213 overall): Dont’e Thornton Jr., WR, Tennessee

The wide receiver position requires multiple picks. Smith is a gunslinger and he'd appreciate Dont'e Thornton Jr.'s deep speed after the Tennessee Volunteers wideout ran a 4.30-second 40-yard dash. Thornton Jr. will win vertically at the next level.

Round 6 (No. 215 overall): Eugene Asante, LB, Auburn

The Raiders could utilize their abundance of day-three selections to build better defensive depth. Eugene Asante possesses the trigger that fits Carroll's preferred linebacker profile. Speed, athleticism, and effort are present on every single snap.

Round 7 (No. 222 overall): Tommi Hill, CB, Nebraska

Nebraska cornerback Tommi Hill was a slight disappointment at the Senior Bowl, fumbling an opportunity to improve his pre-draft stock. Hill is long and physical. His developmental traits are worth betting on late.
