Raiders' Draft Class Flops, Need Young Players to Step Up
Update: 2025-11-17
Description
The Las Vegas Raiders recent draft class, heavily focused on skill position players, has yet to make a significant impact this season. Running back Ashton Jeanty is the only top pick to see substantial playing time, but his effectiveness is hindered by the teams struggling offensive line. Wide receivers Jack Bech and Donte Thornton, both second and fourth-round picks, have struggled to contribute, leading to questions about the teams decision to trade away veteran wide receiver Jakobi Meyers. The Raiders are now relying on Bech, Thornton, and offensive lineman Caleb Rogers to improve and perform like regulars in the second half of the season, as their development is crucial for the teams success and to ensure that this years draft class doesnt leave the roster in a worse position than last season.
