A lot of mocks have us taking Jeanty now. I would certainly like to see him in Silver and Black, but man, a RB at pick 6 feels so early when you have so many holes and it is a deep RB class.

The flip side is we took BPA last year and that worked out pretty well.
Ward and Sanders don't go top five based on bpa but if they do go we'll be looking at some very good players.
T'Mac could be perfect

I actually think they'll front load the deal given they have so much cap room still available.
My only concern with Jeanty was his heavy workload this year. But he can certainly play and would significantly lift the offense.
At the same time, this RB class is extremely deep, and they could opt to add another blue chip player at a premium position - either in the trenches or at corner.
Armand Membou and Mason Graham are the two trench guys who would be worthy of pick 6. Could say the same about Will Campbell. Then you've got Will Johnson and Jahdae Barron at corner.
Raiders really can't go wrong with whoever they pick in this draft. So many good players available at pick 6 who will impact from day one.
I like Johnson but was afraid to mention taking a corner in the first round on this thread.

Raiders signed LB Devin White, formerly of the Texans, to a one-year contract.
White had a strange season in 2024, first signing with the Eagles in the offseason and eventually being released in-season, having played zero snaps. He was then signed by the Texans, for whom he appeared in seven games. White spent the five prior seasons playing for the team that drafted him: the Buccaneers. His signing with the Raiders reunites White with GM John Spytek, who served as the Buccaneers’ director of player personnel when White was drafted. White totaled 16 tackles and four quarterback pressures last year.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports WR Hunter Renfrow is meeting with the Raiders.
Renfrow did not play last season after getting released by the Raiders at the end of the 2023 season. Reported as being more “retired” than “unsigned,” it would appear the former fifth-round pick could be eyeing a return. Still only 29 years old, Renfrow had emerged as a reliable slot receiver early in his career and posted a line of 103-1,038-9 in his third season — earning a Pro Bowl nod. He would go on to catch just 61 passes for 585 yards and two touchdowns over his last two years in the league and was limited to just 10 games in 2022 due to injuries. His reduced role ultimately led to his release, but with a new regime now in place and the Raiders needing receiver help, a reunion could bode well for both sides. Rapoport reports that Renfrow also met with the Panthers on Wednesday, adding “he plans to play in 2025.”

'Sin City could be called Solar City': How Las Vegas is going green

From conserving water to scaling up solar, Sin City is investing millions in sustainability measures.
Las Vegas is notorious for bright lights, excess and hedonism. But America's playground – or to use its better-known nickname, Sin City – is going green. From water conservation and waste management to solar power, the city has invested millions in pushing sustainability initiatives.
"The effort began in earnest in 2005," says Marco Velotta, who serves as the city's sustainability officer, "and accelerated with the Recovery Act in 2009". The federal act set targets for renewable energy, water conservation, recycling and green buildings.
"With the Recovery Act and City Council direction, the city was able to make an initial investment of $75m (£58m) in sustainability projects," Velotta says.
Despite a dramatic population increase, water consumption has dropped "significantly", he says. By 2030, 50% of all Nevada's electricity is expected to be generated from renewable resources.

Very excited that the Raiders now have international marketing rights in Australia.
The Black Hole will likely be coming down under for a home game in the coming years.

Geno extended and now under contract for the next 3 years.
Hope this means the Raiders avoid taking a QB at 6 and instead draft a developmental prospect.

Raiders hoping for a good return on the money
Smith might be the most underrated quarterback when it comes to ball placement. Over the past two seasons, he has been off-target on just 12.4% of his throws, best in the NFL among QBs who started at least 20 games over that span. Smith has a knack for making challenging throws look easy.
There's a difference between accuracy and ball placement: Accuracy is the ability to throw the ball to your guy, while ball placement is keeping it away from the defender. An accurate quarterback gets the pass to a spot where his receiver can make the catch. A quarterback with strong ball placement gets the pass to a spot where only his receiver can make the catch. Trajectory, touch, anticipation and field vision all play a role.
Sounds promising - Smith to Bowers
