Las Vegas 2021 3-round mock draft: Raiders steal OL in second round
. Offensive Lineman. Sooners . Creed Humphrey. 49. player. 815
This is where Mike Mayock makes his money, as he has done a tremendous job finding quality players outside of the first round. In this mock draft, he gets an absolute steal in Creed Humphrey, an absolute mauler who has been the leader of this Oklahoma offensive line for the past few seasons in Norman.
In Humphrey, the Raiders get a versatile offensive lineman who can play both center and guard at the next level. At 6-foot-5, 320 pounds, he has tremendous size and strength, and based on what we have seen from this Raiders offensive line this season, you can never have too much depth among the big fellas up front.
A second-team All-American last season for the Sooners, Humphrey is currently slated to go in the first or second rounds, and some mocks have him being the first interior offensive lineman off the board. Him slipping to the No. 49 spot would be a steal for Mayock and Jon Gruden, giving them more depth, as well as a long-term solution at offensive guard, and eventually having a guy to replace Rodney Hudson down the road.
