Mel Kiper Jr.'s second mock NFL draft of the year came out Tuesday and there were a few big surprises near the top of the board.
The biggest might be former Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders dropping down to the New York Jets at No. 7.
The other stunner happened with the pick right before that one, as Kiper has Pete Carroll and the Las Vegas Raiders selecting former Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty, who rushed for 2,601 yards last season and finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting behind Colorado's Travis Hunter.
Kiper knows the Raiders have a need at QB but if they can fill that role in free agency, a stud running back like Jeanty could be a really good fit in Las Vegas.
Here's his breakdown of the pick:
The Raiders' offense could look really different next season, especially if they end up with Jeanty. With Carroll now in control, it will be interesting to see if they can put a few disastrous seasons behind them and become a factor in the AFC.
