Raiders rookies: It all starts with Ashton Jeanty

For the Las Vegas Raiders’ fan base, the excitement about the 2025 draft class starts up top.

We recently asked our community members which Raiders’ draft choice was their favorite pick. We weren’t necessarily looking for who you thought was the best player, but what pick (for whatever reason) was your favorite?

The top pick ended up being the favorite pick. Yes, in a poll with more than 500 votes cast, first-round pick, running back Ashton Jeanty was the favorite of 44 percent of the voters. Fourth-round pick, wide receiver Dont’a Thornton received 15 percent of the vote, while third-round pick, cornerback Darien Porter received 14 percent and second-round pick, wide receiver Jack Bech received 13 percent of the votes.

We get the sentiment. Jeanty is the clearly the prize of this class and the excitement of what he can bring to this offense is bubbling over in the fan base.
