When the Raiders made their pick at 213 at the end of the sixth round of last night's draft, there were more than a few people who weren't familiar with the name Tommy Mellott. But if that's the case, after this, you might wonder how he slipped under the radar and how the Raiders got him at what is nearly the final round of the draft.

Montana State quarterback Tommy Mellott was selected in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft by the Las Vegas Raiders

Mellott, from Butte, was the 37th pick of the sixth round and the No. 213 overall selection. Mellott is the first Montanan to be drafted into the NFL since Dillon's Troy Andersen was taken in the second round by the Atlanta Falcons out of Montana State.
