Former Raiders GM Makes Admission About Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix
Former Raiders GM Makes Admission About Jayden Daniels, Bo Nix originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Las Vegas Raiders hired Pete Carroll and John Spytek to lead the franchise this offseason, which marks the third straight year that the team has both a new head coach and general manager. Advertisement Antonio Pierce and Tom Telesco only got one year at the helm of the Silver and Black, and while the results were disastrous, Telesco actually added several solid pieces to the roster. In the first three rounds of the 2024 NFL Draft, he grabbed First-Team All-Pro tight end Brock Bowers, All-Rookie lineman Jackson Powers-Johnson, and starting right tackle DJ Glaze. Unfortunately, Telesco was still fired this offseason after a four-win campaign in 2024. Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix (10) and former Las Vegas Raiders RB Ameer Abdullah (8).Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images Many wanted the Raiders to be aggressive and target a quarterback of the future in last year's draft. Telesco was quite selective, however, which netted them Bowers in the first round and no young signal-callers to show for it. Advertisement His failure to grab a quarterback was not entirely in his control, however. Telesco was featured on an episode of "Check the Mic" on Thursday, and he talked about both Jayden Daniels and Bo Nix. 'Other than Jayden Daniels, (trading up for a QB) was a non-starter," Telesco said. "Bo Nix, his background of work, his durability, his movement skills, that would've been a good possibility (at 13)." Unfortunately, the Raiders' roster was not in a position to trade up for Daniels, and the Commanders did not want to move back anyway. Nix also came off the board just one pick ahead of Las Vegas, when their AFC West rival, the Denver Broncos, selected him at No. 12 overall. Both players had strong rookie seasons, as Daniels led the Commanders to the NFC Championship Game and won the 2025 NFL Rookie of the Year Award. Nix also led the Broncos to 10 wins and finished third in the Rookie of the Year award voting, behind Daniels and Bowers. Advertisement Ultimately, this is water under the bridge considering Telesco is now out of a job and there is a new regime in place in Las Vegas. However, Raider Nation cannot help but imagine what could have been if things went a bit differently in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Raiders Reportedly Using Ashton Jeanty in Unique Role at OTAs
Raiders Reportedly Using Ashton Jeanty in Unique Role at OTAs originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Las Vegas Raiders had the worst rushing attack in the league during the 2024 NFL season. Led by Zamir White and Alexander Mattison, the Silver and Black mustered a league-low 79.8 yards per game on the ground. Advertisement After winning just four games last season, in large part due to the team's lack of ground success, owner Mark Davis cleaned house this offseason. Davis hired Pete Carroll and John Spytek to be the team's next head coach and general manager. Their first draft selection was Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, who comes to Las Vegas after a 2,601-yard, 29-touchdown campaign at Boise State. He and new offensive coordinator Chip Kelly will be tasked with reviving the Raiders' rushing attack in 2025. Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty (2).Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images Many expect Jeanty to be the workhorse back for the Raiders immediately as a rookie. While that is certainly shaping up to be the case, reporter Levi Edwards added that Jeanty has been utilized in a unique role during the team's OTAs. Advertisement "It seems Kelly is placing Jeanty all over the field, giving him more opportunities to get the ball in open space in last week's practices," Edwards wrote. "This included screen passes and getting the ball to the running back out in the flat." Las Vegas added veteran Raheem Mostert during free agency, who led the NFL in rushing touchdowns during the 2023 season. But it seems that the new brass is investing heavily in their No. 6 overall pick instead of using a committee approach. Jeanty was a slot receiver for a season in high school, and he showed off his pass-catching prowess during his second season at Boise State. During that year, he caught 43 passes for 569 yards and five touchdowns. Any way that Kelly and the Las Vegas staff can get the ball into Jeanty's hands is sure to help the Raiders' offense. With a solid passing attack led by Geno Smith, Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers, Jeanty's running ability should keep defenses honest. Advertisement However, if he is going to be used a pass-catching threat as well, then this could cause headaches for opposing defensive coordinators. It has been a long time since Las Vegas has had a high-end dual-threat running back, but it already appears that they have one in Ashton Jeanty.
