A mock draft is a simulated selection of players by teams in a professional sports league, typically done before the actual draft takes place. It allows teams to project which players they may be able to select and to plan their draft strategy accordingly. The “Raiders 2025 Mock Draft” refers to a specific mock draft for the Las Vegas Raiders of the National Football League (NFL) for the 2025 NFL Draft.
Mock drafts are important for several reasons. They allow teams to identify potential targets, assess the depth of talent at each position, and compare their draft strategy to that of other teams. They can also help fans to understand the team’s needs and to speculate on which players the team may select.
