The Las Vegas Raiders have positioned themselves nicely for draft weekend.
By trading for quarterback Geno Smith, the Raiders can now turn their attention towards other immediate gaps in their roster. Looking at most mock drafts, the Raiders are near-unanimously projected to select Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty in the first round. Despite the depreciation at running back in recent years, Jeanty makes perfect sense for a Raiders team that struggled to get anything going on the ground last season.
However, a recent mock draft has new general manager John Spytek getting aggressive in his draft strategy, picking up elite prospects at not one, but two positions.
