Raiders' Draft Choice Criticized
Update: 2025-11-20
Description
The Las Vegas Raiders draft strategy, particularly their selection of running back Ashton Jeanty with the sixth overall pick, has drawn criticism from NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe. Sharpe argues that Jeanty, while a good player, wasnt worthy of such a high draft pick, especially for a team with so many foundational issues. The Raiders rushing attack was the worst in the league last season, but Jeanty has shown flashes of potential but lacks consistency due to a struggling offensive line. Many believe the Raiders should have focused on drafting a quarterback or bolstering their offensive line, positions that often have a more significant impact on a teams success. The consensus is that while Jeanty may still develop into a good player, the Raiders decision to prioritize a running back so high in the draft was a miscalculation that has contributed to their current struggles and could impact their future.
