The 2025 NFL Draft is set to kick off on Thursday night in Green Bay, and the Las Vegas Raiders have a pivotal decision to make with the No.6 overall pick. The team still has a plethora of needs that could be addressed with the selection, including offensive line, wide receiver, running back, and more.
The Raiders will have a few talented prospects to choose from with the sixth pick, and head coach Pete Carroll has started teasing fans ahead of the highly-anticipated night.
Carroll took to X and tweeted a gif of Will Smith in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air with magnifying glasses with the caption, "Draft clues on the way!!"

Carroll and general manager John Spytek are entering their first draft together, but based on Carroll's comments on X, the duo seems to have their eye on a certain prospect.
Las Vegas has been heavily linked to Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty throughout the draft process, but there's a chance the generational playmaker is off the board by the time the Raiders are on the clock.
If Jeanty isn't available at No.6 overall, Carroll and Spytek could opt to address the trenches or select a dynamic pass-catcher for quarterback Geno Smith. Las Vegas has a ton of options, and we'll see very soon who the next Raider will be.
