What the Raiders' Draft Capital Looks Like After Jakobi Meyers Trade

The Las Vegas Raiders' season this year has not gone the way a lot of different people in the building thought it would go. The Raiders are having another season of wondering when this franchise is going to turn it around.

Another season of this team not being able to win games and start showing that they could start turning things around. It has been a disappointing one, even more so because of all the changes that the organization made coming into the 2025 NFL season.

The Raiders are now starting to look into the future and see what they have in their young talent and what other things they can get in order for the future. The Raiders have done well the last couple of years in the NFL Draft. The Raiders have drafted good talent that you can say they are going to be part of the future in Las Vegas. They are building something with those players and are looking to keep doing that and give themselves the best chance to turn things around in the future.
