Las Vegas could have made a deal for George Pickens based on talent, but it's everything else that probably pushed them away. Most NFL fans knew this day was coming, but it finally came to fruition. The Pittsburgh Steelers traded star wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys for a 2026 third-round pick and a swap of late-round picks in 2027. Pickens too often makes the franchise and fan base question if his talent is worth the trouble that he brings to the team.

Bowers had a record-setting rookie season, but room for improvement clears a path to even more impact in 2025. Despite having several other glaring needs, the Las Vegas Raiders surprised the league and took tight end Brock Bowers with the No. 13 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. He silenced all doubters of the pick during his rookie campaign, as his 112 catches and 1,194 yards were the most by a rookie tight end in league history.

These players could make a major leap in their second season. As expected, the new regime for the Las Vegas Raiders has shaped the roster in its image. Head coach Pete Carroll definitely has a type when it comes to certain positions, general manager John Spytek is on the same page and minority owner Tom Brady exerts his influence where he sees fit. But the rebuild in Las Vegas is not a one-year project, even though their 73-year-old coach may be somewhat in win-now mode.

Las Vegas saw Dont'e Thornton Jr.'s potential, but they were not the only team that did. The Las Vegas Raiders needed a talent infusion at wide receiver before the 2025 NFL Draft. They got the ball rolling by adding TCU's Jack Bech in the second round, and they followed that up by selecting Tennessee wideout Dont'e Thornton Jr. with the No. 108 overall pick.

Las Vegas added an eccentric piece to the offense. The Las Vegas Raiders threw some fans a curveball on Day 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft when they selected two FCS quarterbacks within three picks of one another in Montana State's Tommy Mellott and North Dakota State's Cam Miller. However, it appears as though only Miller is sticking at quarterback. Mellott, who lost to Miller in the FCS championship game, will be converted to wide receiver once he gets his feet wet in the pros.
