For months now, it has seemed inevitable that Boise State star running back Ashton Jeanty would end up somewhere in the top 10.
With the Raiders being the most highly projected suitor for some time now at No. 6, as well as recent projections for Jeanty to each of New England, Jacksonville and Chicago, it seems somewhat of a lock.
But according to Jeanty, the highest possible outcome for him still seems to be Las Vegas.
"I think the earliest that I will go is No. 6," Jeanty told Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. "That's my belief and that would be the Raiders at that pick or somebody else trading up to to get in front of them. Possibly, I think that's what's gonna happen.
That said, it also appears the worst case scenario seems to be Jeanty falling into the lap of his dream team with the Dallas Cowboys at No. 12.
"I would say No. 12. Yeah, I would think that would be the floor," Jeanty told Florio when asked about the lowest possible outcome. "That's them Cowboys."
Jeanty, of course, has long been connected to the Cowboys as well, thanks in part to his open campaigning to end up with a star on his helmet.
After all, as a native of Frisco, TX, he grew up as a fan of America's team.
"I think it would be dope, a lot of great people there, a lot of talented players," Jeanty said in February," via DallasCowboys.com. "Potentially to be a part of that, I think that would be a great opportunity... It would be special, growing up in Frisco, spending a lot of time out there, I think it would be cool to have the star on my helmet again. Playing for Lone Star, I had a star on my helmet as well, so it would be a dope moment if that were to happen."
He will find out one way or the other on Thursday night, when the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft officially kicks off.
