NFL Team Reportedly Feels Tet McMillan 'A Legitimate Possibility' for Raiders at No. 6

The Las Vegas Raiders have been projected to target Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty with their first-round selection in the 2025 NFL draft, but not everyone is convinced they will go in that direction.

One NFL team told The Athletic's Jeff Howe that it feels Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan is "a legitimate possibility" for the Raiders with the No. 6 pick. Howe noted that Las Vegas run game coordinator and offensive line coach Brennan Carroll was McMillan's offensive coordinator for his first two seasons at Arizona.

While Jeanty is believed to be a can't-miss prospect, McMillan has the potential to be a game-changer as well. B/R's NFL Scouting Department ranks him as the No. 1 receiver in its draft big board and projects him as a future star.

"McMillan is a fantastic receiving threat who brings a ton to the table," B/R NFL scout Dame Parson stated. "NFL offensive coordinators will appreciate his versatility and the litany of ways he can win in their offensive structure. He projects as a No. 1 wide receiver who you pepper with a high amount of targets per game."

Adding McMillan to a passing attack that includes rising star tight end Brock Bowers and veteran wideout Jakobi Meyers, both of whom achieved 1,000-yard seasons in 2024 despite suspect quarterback play, would surely help the Raiders return to contention sooner rather than later.

However, there's a chance Las Vegas passes on an offensive addition altogether. B/R's NFL Scouting Department predicted in its mock draft that the Raiders would trade down with the New Orleans Saints to the No. 9 pick and select Michigan cornerback Will Johnson.

The first round of the 2025 NFL draft is sure to produce some exciting moments when things get underway on Thursday.
