NFL Network Host NFL Network host and Raiders.com contributor Rhett Lewis takes a crack at projecting all seven rounds for the Raiders ahead of the 2025 Draft. Round 1, Pick 6 Armand Membou, OL, Missouri GM John Spytek recently spoke to me and Bucky Brooks on the Raiders NFL Draft Podcast and his passion for building the foundation of a franchise up front on both sides of the line of scrimmage was clear. Now, Spytek isn’t overly unique in that thought process, but he’s lived it with great success in Tampa and selecting Armand Membou gives the Raiders a great building block for immediate and long-term impact up front. It’s also worth noting Texas OL Kelvin Banks’ name has become a more prominent piece of the top 10 conversation and it’s possible some teams have Banks ahead of Membou, but I’m sticking with Membou at No. 6. Round 2, Pick 37 Trey Amos, CB, Ole Miss Depending on how many corners go in the first round, this area of the second round feels like a sweet spot to find a starting caliber cornerback and Ole Miss’ Trey Amos certainly fits that bill. A long-levered corner with great man coverage skills who has a knack for making big plays on the football. Round 3, Pick 68 Tre Harris, WR, Ole Miss There’s certainly a possibility that Harris is off the board by this point, but I love the value if he’s still available. Harris isn’t DK Metcalf, but he is the type of big bodied, big-play threat that has thrived under Pete Carroll coached teams and that style of receiver feels like a skillset that would fit in nicely in the receiver room and for QB Geno Smith.

Round 4, Pick 108 CJ West, DT, Indiana If you’re looking for interior disruptors on Day 3, look no further than CJ West who was a catalyst for Indiana’s defensive resurgence on their 2024 College Football Playoff run. West benefitted from a flexible defensive scheme that allowed him to cause havoc in opposing backfields and showcased those skills as one of the top performers at the East-West Shrine Bowl. BTW, if Iowa RB Kaleb Johnson is somehow still available here, that would be my pick, but don’t think it’s gonna happen, which is how we arrived at the next pick. Round 5, Pick 143 DJ Giddens, RB, Kansas State Big framed running back with high-level production at Kansas State, DJ Giddens also ran a 4.43 40 yard dash at the Combine, putting a checkmark in the athleticism column on his draft profile. He came from a scheme-diverse run game at Kansas St. and thrived across the board putting up a school record 6.55 yards per carry. Round 6, Pick 180 Jaylin Smith, CB, USC Jaylin Smith played outside corner for the Trojans this year, but was thought of like a chess piece in their secondary. DC D’Anton Lynn told me they went through 2024 spring ball assessing their biggest needs whether that was outside corner, nickel corner or safety, because they knew Smith could plug and play at any of those positions. Turns out the need was at CB and Smith was a stalwart in the USC defensive backfield. He could provide similar versatility to the Raiders. Round 6, Pick 213 Jack Kiser, LB, Notre Dame Jack Kiser leaves South Bend with the record for most games ever played in a Fighting Irish uniform and as such, Notre Dame Head Coach Marcus Freeman called Kiser “truly a Notre Dame man.” In addition to starting at linebacker since 2021, Kiser was one of the best special teams players in the country playing on all four core teams units. Round 6, Pick 215 Jackson Slater, OG, Sacramento State Jackson Slater was an FCS All-American for Sacramento St. and has a ton of experience as a nearly full-time starter each of the last four seasons. He acquitted himself well during Senior Bowl week, showcasing his powerful upper body and then put together a solid athletic profile at the Combine. He’s a depth piece along the offensive line for the Raiders with some upward mobility down the road. Round 7, Pick 222 Efton Chism, WR, Eastern Washington Off the charts production at the FCS level, Efton Chism wins with route technique and competitive toughness more than high-level athleticism. Chism caught 120 passes for over 1,300 yards with 13 touchdowns in 2024. His ability to get open and reliable hands will give him a chance to contribute for the Raiders.
