A guideline for when Raiders fans need to tune into draft on Friday evening
After taking Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Las Vegas Raiders’ attention shifts to Day 2 and if they’ll secure a quarterback of the future with Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders?
Our friends at FanDuel Sportsbook are giving the Raiders the second-best odds to draft Sanders as a +330 bet. However, the Cleveland Browns will make the first selection of the day at No. 33 overall and are the favorite to land the former Buffalo at -155. So, Las Vegas has to play the waiting game to see if he’ll be available for the taking.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at what times the Silver and Black will make their second- and third-round picks on Friday based on when the 37th and 68th selections were made in previous drafts. Coverage for the draft will air on ESPN and NFL Network at 4:00 p.m. PST.
Last year, the New England Patriots selected Washington wide receiver Ja’Lynn Polk 37th overall at 4:38 p.m.

So, Raider fans can expect to hear about the 37th overall pick around 4:30 p.m. There’s more variance at No. 68, but the 6:30 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. window seems like the sweetspot.
