Raiders 7-round mock draft: Las Vegas adds Jerry Jeudy
By Evan Groat
The Las Vegas Raiders hold five of the first 91 selections in the 2020 NFL Draft, and we dive into what their haul could look like this April.
There’s no denying that the Las Vegas Raiders roster is in a much better place than it was just a few weeks ago. The 2020 free agency period has helped them address some issues on the defensive side of the ball, including bringing in talent at linebacker, which was a serious area of need.
Jon Gruden and Mike Mayock have done a nice job building this roster up since Mayock came aboard last offseason, and have this team ready to make a run towards a playoff berth. With the well beginning to dry up on the free agent market, they must now look to fill in the remaining holes through the draft, where they happen to have a ton of draft capital once again.
With the draft set to take place in just under four weeks, it’s crunch time for coaches, general managers and their scouting departments. As always, mock drafts are a fluid situation. Expect things to change as the rumor mill heats up in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, here’s how our latest mock draft shapes up for the Las Vegas Raiders.
