NFL Draft countdown: Focus on Raiders' first-round pick at No. 6

Per Pro Football Focus, Jeanty topped all college running backs with an unbelievable 1,889 yards after contact, or 5.48 yards per attempt last season. By comparison, recently signed Raheem Mostert averaged 3.3 yards per carry with 2.74 yards after contact for the Dolphins in 2024.

WR Tetairoa McMillan | Arizona

McMillan is considered by many to be the best wide receiver in the draft and CBS Sports’ Ryan Wilson believes he’ll play for Las Vegas in 2024. The consensus All-American averaged 1,141 yards and 8.6 touchdowns in three years as a Wildcat with 87 catches over his last two seasons, finishing as Arizona’s all-time receiving leader with 3,423 yards.

The Raiders had a pair of 1,000-yard receivers last season, led by rookie tight end Brock Bowers, who finished with 1,194 yards, slightly ahead of No. 2 receiver Jakobi Meyers. McMillan would fit right in with a skill set rarely seen in players his size.

“McMillan is 6-foot-5, but he moves like a shifty slot receiver with the benefit of an enormous catch radius and the ability to make contested catches look easy.” Wilson says, “Think Drake London but a better athlete."

London went eighth overall to the Falcons in 2022 and had 100 catches for 1,271 yards last season, numbers new head coach Pete Carroll will gladly take in 2025.

OT Armand Membou | Missouri

The Raiders have a massive hole to fill at right tackle, and general manager John Spytek loves to draft offensive linemen, according to The 33rd Team’s Marcus Mosher, who sees Membou as the team’s best option available thanks to his unique blend of size, speed and athleticism.

A former multi-sport athlete in high school, Membou plays with balance and quickness that should allow him to play anywhere along the line in the NFL. 

Previously listed at 6-foot-3 and 314 pounds, Membou weighed in at 332 pounds at the NFL Scouting Combine and led his position with a 34-inch vertical leap, a 9-foot-7 broad jump and ran a 4.91 40-yard dash, the second-best time among offensive linemen.

PFF credits Membou with only three sacks allowed on 1,036 pass-blocking snaps in three years with Missouri. The Raiders gave up 50 sacks last season, tied for the seventh-most in the NFL. With Membou, they could do much better for new starting quarterback Geno Smith.
