"Plenty around the league believe strongly the Raiders have fallen in love” with Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty according to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports.

“One executive from an AFC team went so far as to say it’s ‘a forgone conclusion’ that Vegas will take him with the No. 6 pick,” Jones added. It would not qualify as a surprise that a Pete Carroll team wanted to invest at running back, nor should it be a shock that the Raiders would add to a running back room that is regarded as one of the worst in the NFL currently. Jeanty would immediately be a bellcow back for the Raiders — it’s hard to imagine him not being a bellcow no matter what team he lands on — and is a likely first-round pick in fantasy drafts this summer as well.
