Las Vegas Raiders 7-round 2021 NFL Mock: Gus Bradley gets major assets
By Brad Weiss
Round 5
With their first offensive selection of this draft, the Las Vegas Raiders bring in an electric running back who could be a great second-option behind Josh Jacobs at the position moving forward. Jaret Patterson was a blur for Buffalo this past season, rushing for over 1,000 yards and 19 touchdowns for the Bulls.
He is not a big back, but he runs with power, as he showed the ability to score in the red zone time and time again. Also, he has tremendous breakaway speed, so putting him in the same backfield as Jacobs would give the Silver and Black another look at the position, and give them two young and explosive backs.
Round 7
We round out our latest 7-round mock by bringing in some more talent at wide receiver, as it is an area of question heading into the offseason. Will Mayock bring back Tyrell Williams, will he sign Nelson Agholor to a new contract? Only time will tell, but they get another good option here in the seventh round in Tamorrion Terry.
Terry had a down year in 2020, due to an injury, and then opting out of the season, but we saw what he could do in a monster game against Notre Dame. The WR room is something to keep an eye on this offseason, and by draft time, we will know if a wideout is needed.
