Las Vegas Raiders go defense early in 7-round 2021 mock draft

When you play outside of the power conferences you have a tendency to fall in the draft. This could end up being the case for Roger Cray, a talented cornerback for Western Kentucky who plays well above his stature.

The 5-foot-9 Cray appeared in seven games for the Hilltoppers last season, notching two interceptions and three pass breakups. In addition, he was featured in the return game, making him a guy who could prove to be a steal this late in the draft.

Obviously, it is extremely early to even be projecting what the needs will be after the 2020 NFL season, but the truth is, there are a lot of talented players coming out that can seriously improve this roster in 2021. The Raiders will continue to change the roster, as they have a ton of free agents in 2021, and the hope is, another loaded draft class will be on the horizon.
