2021 NFL Draft: Las Vegas Raiders erase needs in 7-round mock draft
By Brad Weiss
The Raiders roster was bolstered during free agency in a few places, including along the offensive and defensive lines. While the team traded away starters on the offensive line, they did bring back Richie Incognito and Denzelle Good, while also adding Nick Martin, and giving a new contract to Andre James.
Along the defensive line, Yannick Ngakoue was brought in to help an anemic pass rush, and the linebacker group should be fine with Nicholas Morrow back in the fold, and hopefully a healthy Tanner Muse. As stated earlier, the secondary was not addressed hardly at all, and although Karl Joseph was brought back after a year in Cleveland to fill a void at safety, they still need more depth there.
That is where Divine Deablo comes in, a player with tremendous size and speed, and one who could actually challenge for a starting job if Johnathan Abram struggles once again in 2021. The Raiders only have really Abram, Joseph, and Jeff Heath coming back at safety in terms of guys who will challenge for real playing time, and Deablo could end up being the No. 3 when all is said and done.
