With mere days remaining before the first round of the NFL Draft, the pick for the Las Vegas Raiders is still somewhat obvious.
While other needs have taken more precedence over the last few weeks, Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty still feels like the choice for the sixth overall pick. Head coach Pete Carroll further fueled the rumors by telling general manager John Spytek to be careful in regards to a question about Jeanty. With Carroll’s best teams revolving around great running backs, the idea of Jeanty being the bellcow for his Raiders is tempting.
However, with so many needs, analysts are wondering if the obvious course of action is the right one.
