Las Vegas Raiders fill major holes early in 7-round 2021 NFL mock draft

This week, the Las Vegas Raiders shuffled the deck once again upfront along the defensive line, waiving both Arden Key and Maurice Hurst. Those are two players from the 2018 draft class that struggled to play consistent football, though Hurst is a player I would have liked for them to keep, although they have a ton of bodies at defensive tackle right now.

Still, if Jalen Twyman is available at pick No. 121, he is a guy who should be brought into the mix in the interior of this Raiders defensive line. Twyman has the ability to be very disruptive in the middle of the defensive line, and based on what Gus Bradley likes to do upfront with his defensive tackles, he would be an excellent fit.

While Twyman did not play in 2020 due to the pandemic, he has a monster 2019 season, starting every game for Pitt, notching 10.5 sacks, and becoming the first Pitt DT since Aaron Donald to lead them in sacks. He is an absolute menace in the backfield, and to get him this late in the draft could prove to be a steal.
