The Las Vegas Raiders have done a tremendous job adding talent via the last two NFL Drafts, and we take a look at what the team’s 2021 class could look like.

It is early to truly to predict where the chips might fall for the Las Vegas Raiders in 2020, as the expectation is that they will challenge for a playoff spot. General manager Mike Mayock has done a tremendous job during the previous NFL Drafts, building this roster up the right way, and as they head to Vegas, taking the next step forward is paramount.

Looking ahead at the 2021 NFL Draft, one thing is for sure, that it is as loaded as any we have seen recently. Any additions to the roster will surely be of a warm welcoming, and there are still some long-term holes to fill.

With every season, players either fall below expectations or rise above them, so we cannot truly predict what the Raiders may need in 2021. Nevertheless, we have some predictions here of where the Raiders might be leaning in terms of their 2021 Draft board.

With that being said, let’s take a look at a seven-round mock of which prospects can land in Vegas.
