Unexpected draft route a potential answered prayer for the Raiders

By now, most draft pundits think they have the Las Vegas Raiders all figured out.

More mock drafts have the Raiders selecting Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty with the sixth overall pick. Others, not so convinced that Geno Smith is a long-term proposition in Las Vegas, have Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders heading to the Raiders. Both players have been linked to the Raiders for a long time, and it feels almost inevitable that one of them winds up with the Silver and Black.

However, the draft is an unpredictable beast, and the Raiders could end up being one bout of insanity happening in front of them from a true best-case scenario.
