The first phase of free agency is officially behind us and now most teams have given the NFL landscape a better idea of which direction they’re likely to go come draft day.
The Las Vegas Raiders have been one of the more aggressive teams in free agency since the tampering window opened on March 16th. Since then, Jon Gruden and Mike Mayock have signed 12 players, including the top available linebacker on the open market, Cory Littleton.
Dating back to the end of the 2019 regular season, the Raiders defense was far from being a finished product and that was well-documented once again as Gruden and Mayock went defense-heavy over the first week of free agency.
As it shapes up currently, wide receiver and cornerback appear to be the team’s top needs. With this year’s draft class being extraordinary deep at wide receiver, Las Vegas very well could double-dip on pass-catchers.
Here’s how our latest mock draft shapes up for the Las Vegas Raiders.
