2021 NFL Mock Draft: Las Vegas Raiders continue to bolster defense
By Nick Ellis
As we head towards the second half of the Las Vegas Raiders 2020 schedule, here is a full first round 2021 NFL Mock Draft.
Although it is way to early to know who will go where in the 2021 NFL Draft, and even when teams are drafting, it is always fun to speculate. The NFL season is already more than half way through, and it is to the point where we can see around where each team may be drafting in 2021, including the Las Vegas Raiders.
Let’s take a look at the first round of our 2021 NFL Mock Draft.
QB. New York Jets. Trevor Lawrence. 1. player. 30.
If there is one pick in the draft that is obvious, it is Trevor Lawrence going first overall. The New York Jets did draft Sam Darnold just a few years ago in the first round, but the mix of Sam Darnold not getting the job done, and Trevor Lawrence being a generational talent, is more than enough for the Jets to make the change at QB.
52. . QB. Jacksonville Jaguars. Justin Fields. 2. player
Although it is possible that the Jaguars do not select a quarterback in the first round, having the second pick and the chance at Justin Fields is too much to pass up on. The play of Gardner Minshew and Jake Luton will determine this pick, but Fields appears to be the real deal, and fits the mold of what the modern day NFL QB is becoming.
Dallas Cowboys. Penei Sewell. 3. player. 123. . Offensive Tackle
The Cowboys are a team filled with talent, but they have not been able to put it together, looking like one of the worst teams in football this season. Assuming Dallas gets a deal done with Dak Prescott, the team will look to rebuild a once dominant offensive line, and they get the best lineman in the class with Oregon tackle Penei Sewell.
Wide Receiver. New York Giants. Ja'Marr Chase. 4. player. 31.
The Giants could go a number of different directions with this pick, as the team has holes all over the field. Before the team gives up on Daniel Jones, they need to surround him with talent, and the Giants get the best receiver in the class in LSU’s Ja’Marr Chase.
