Broncos, Raiders Target Jeanty in 2025 NFL Draft

Boise State's Ashton Jeanty, after a standout 2,601-yard season, is a top running back prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft and is attracting strong interest from both the Denver Broncos and Las Vegas Raiders, who struggled in the running game last season. The Broncos, with the No. 20 pick, may target a running back in the first round, as coach Sean Payton highlights the need to support quarterback Bo Nix. The Raiders, holding the No. 6 pick, are considering Jeanty but are also open to trading down or pursuing other positions, with new GM John Spytek prioritizing offensive line improvements. Trade options for Las Vegas include acquiring Jets running back Breece Hall or D'Andre Swift from Chicago to address multiple needs. The draft is widely regarded as deep at running back, giving both teams flexibility in their strategies. Additionally, the NFL Draft will feature community and youth wellness initiatives in the host city.
