2021 NFL Draft: Las Vegas Raiders erase needs in 7-round mock draft

The Las Vegas Raiders hold eight selections in the 2021 NFL Draft, and here is a 7-round mock draft that erases most of their needs.

The Las Vegas Raiders head into the 2021 NFL Draft with needs on both sides of the ball, and can really improve their roster if they can get it right. Mike Mayock and Jon Gruden have not had the best luck in the first round, but they have found gems late, so hopefully, the duo can have a solid draft across the entire three-day event.

With that said, here is our latest 2021 7-round Las Vegas Raiders mock draft.

We kick off our seven-round Las Vegas Raiders mock draft at pick No. 17 overall, one that is going to be huge in terms of the trajectory of the franchise. Mayock and Gruden have not done a great job with their first-round picks through the first two years together, so making sure to land a Day 1 starter here is a must.

Looking at the 2021 NFL Draft class, there is a lot of talent at offensive tackle and four such players who could go in the top-10. Penei Sewell and Rashawn Slater are likely to be the first two off the board, and then it is anybody’s guess as to whether Christian Darrisaw or Teven Jenkins will be the next to go.

If both are still there, I like Jenkins over Darrisaw, as I believe that he will make an easier transition to the right side at the next level, as he played both sides at Oklahoma State, even some guard. He is big, strong, and athletic, and would be an excellent complement to Kolton Miller on the opposite side as bookends for Derek Carr.
