Raiders Draft Class Quietly Struggles | Las Vegas Raiders News

The Las Vegas Raiders loaded up on draft picks in 2025, hoping to build a future—but so far, it’s been quiet. Ashton Jeanty, their first-round RB, is the only standout, setting a franchise rookie record for yards from scrimmage and expected to start when healthy. On defense, Darien Porter headlines at CB, while Tonka Hemingway, a surprising fourth-rounder, gets more reps. But others are struggling: Jack Bech (2nd round) is fading to backup, Caleb Rogers (3rd round) may be a reserve guard, and Charles Grant is the swing tackle. Dont’e Thornton fights for fifth receiver status, J.J. Pegues is depth at DT, and Cody Lindenberg is mostly a special teams guy. Two sixth-rounders are gone, and overall, the class hasn’t delivered much impact—Jeanty’s the lone bright spot. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
