The raiders are the favorite of the bets to write the bearer of the Ballon de Boise State Ashton Jeanty with the sixth overall choice. He makes too much sense for a team that has a new quarter-Arrière in Geno Smith.
Friday, the managing director John Spytek asked Jeanty, the head coach Pete Carroll looked and whispered: “Be careful”.
“I’m going to be careful to talk about a specific player,” said Spytek. “But, more broadly to the question of the ball carrier, I mean, we have just seen Saquon Barkley simply change the Eagles in a year. Now, they had an excellent team around him, and that added an elite player. I think that when you sit where we sit, the idea is to add elite players to any position.
“There are times in matches when there is no one that you prefer that the best league botter too, at that time. There are certain ways to build a team, and I do not know where we arrived in a place where we have the impression that the running backs are not valued. Get away. “
No rear-dos was taken in the first round in 2024, but Bijan Robinson went n ° 8 in 2023, followed by Jahmyr Gibbs at No. 12.
The Raiders drafted a quarter of the first round in 2019 a quarter, selecting Josh Jacobs with the 24th choice in total. After losing Jacobs against packers in free agency a year ago, the raiders finished last by rushing.
Jeanty won 2,601 yards and scored 29 hit last season by becoming a finalist in the Heisman trophy.
