The Las Vegas Raiders hold eight draft picks in the 2021 NFL Draft, and we look at a potential haul that would improve them on both sides of the ball.
The Las Vegas Raiders have made some nice moves in free agency this year, getting an elite edge rusher in Yannick Ngakoue, and bringing back some talent that was on their way out the door. While they have addressed some areas, there are still a lot of question marks, including along the offensive line, and in the defensive backfield.
Luckily for the Raiders, there is a lot of talent still available in free agency, and they also hold eight selections in the 2021 NFL Draft. That is enough to get this team trending in the right direction, but to do so, Mike Mayock and Jon Gruden need to do a better job in selecting talent this year across the three-day event.
Recently, we looked at how the trade of Sam Darnold could affect the Raiders and their No. 17 overall pick, that is assuming there are no more moves done before the first round kicks off. For our latest mock, we used the Draft Network’s simulator, and Las Vegas landed an elite talent in the first round.
