Before coaching the Las Vegas Raiders, Pete Carroll was the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks from 2010 to 2023. That's 13 years of drafting experience to use when trying to see which way he could lean in this upcoming draft.

Pete Carroll said he remained close with Geno Smith, which helped sow the seeds for the eventual trade with the Seahawks. Here's what he said at Monday's NFL meetings.

The Raiders have options with the sixth pick. According to a new mock draft from Garrett Podell of CBS Sports, Carroll and Co. are projected to attempt a Seahawks' blueprint move in drafting Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty.
