The Raiders have done a nice job getting better up front on both sides of the ball, and our latest 7-round 2021 mock has them continuing to do just that.

The Las Vegas Raiders have built up the overall talent of their team over the past two drafts, as general manager Mike Mayock has struck gold not only in the first round with Josh Jacobs, but in the later rounds as well. The Raiders are currently a team that is moving in the right direction, and another solid NFL Draft could put them over the top.

In 2021, the Raiders will hopefully be picking later in round one, but for this mock purpose, we have to use the draft order set by the software we are using. In this mock, the Raiders will be picking at No. 11 overall in the first round, which is a sign that the season did not go as well as planned.

Heading into the 2020 NFL season, the team has done a nice job fixing a bunch of the issues on their roster, including weaknesses at linebacker and at wide receiver. Their needs next April will not really be known until after the season, but it is always fun to put these mocks together based on the current needs on the roster.

With that said, let us dive into our latest 2021 NFL mock draft, going all seven rounds for the Las Vegas Raiders.
