The Las Vegas Raiders will head into this offseason with a lot of question marks on both sides of the ball and will look to both the NFL Draft, and free agency to fill the holes they currently have. Last season, Las Vegas won eight games, which was an improvement from 2019, but when you look at how they faltered down the stretch, nobody was having any parades for the one-win improvement.

Entering the 2021 NFL Draft, the Raiders currently hold six selections, as they will be without their sixth-round pick due to COVID-19 protocol violations. Unlike previous years, the Raiders do not hold multiple first-round picks, so it will be interesting to see if they decide to trade out of pick No. 17, or stay put.

There are a lot of teams ahead of them that need quarterback help, so movement is bound to happen, and based on who you ask, the Raiders do not have that problem. In fact, this is a draft that should be focused on the defensive side of the ball, as the team finished No. 30 overall in points allowed per game last season.

With that said, here is our latest 7-round 2021 NFL Mock Draft for the Las Vegas Raiders.
