Raiders projected to get some draft ammo
While the league will officially award compensatory draft picks for the 2025 NFL draft later this offseason, a reputable projection has emerged and it’s favorable for the Las Vegas Raiders.
According to a projection by Over The Cap (which has a strong track record in predicting comp-pick awards) the Raiders are slated to get sixth-round draft picks for losing cornerback Amik Robertson (he signed with the Detroit Lions) and defensive tackle Bilal Nichols (Arizona Cardinals). Here is Over The Cap’s full projection.

Comp picks are awarded on a formula based on talent signed and lost during the previous year’s free-agent cycle. While two late sixth-round pick may not seem like much, the more picks the better for the Raiders who have plenty of holes to try to fill.
