The 2021 NFL Draft class is loaded with talent, and as we dive into a full first round mock, the Las Vegas Raiders add an elite linebacker.

The 2020 NFL season is going to happen, and what that will look like remains to be seen, but the excitement is starting to build. All 32 NFL teams have been busy revamping their roster this offseason, including the Las Vegas Raiders, who got better on both sides of the ball.

As is the case every season, teams will come out of nowhere to shock the football landscape, and some teams will not live up to expectations. While it is hard to tell what teams will need what when all is said and done, that does not mean we cannot take a look at what should be a loaded 2021 draft class.

As school try to return to campus, there is also no telling what the college football season will look like, so it is hard to even gauge who will be available next April. Still, based on current rosters, we can get a look at what teams may be in the market for in 2021, so why not try our hand at a potential first round mock draft.
