2021 NFL Draft: Las Vegas Raiders all-offense 3-round mock draft
The Las Vegas Raiders have a few needs on offense and here is a 3-round mock that focuses solely on filling those offensive holes.
The Las Vegas Raiders had one of the better offenses in the NFL in 2020 in just about every major category. They were able to move the ball well up and down the field, excelled on third and fourth down conversions, and featured a 4,000-yard passer in Derek Carr, a 1,000-yard receiver in Darren Waller, and a 1,000-yard rusher in Josh Jacobs.
The unit was not perfect of course, there were some games where the offense was stymied and others where they struggled to take care of the ball. Those struggles generally came against teams that could generate a fierce pass rush and the Raiders had trouble making much headway in the run game when injuries struck the offensive line.
Still, the majority of the work this offseason was going to be focused on a defensive unit that was one of the worst in the NFL and cost the Raiders several games over the course of the season. With that in mind, please note that this mock draft where the Raiders pick 4 offensive players in the first 3 rounds is not a prediction of what will happen, but rather an exercise in what could happen if they choose to go all offense in rounds 1-3.
Let’s dive in with a name that has been linked with the Raiders for weeks.
