2021 NFL Draft: Las Vegas Raiders erase needs in 7-round mock draft
By Brad Weiss
Jermar Jefferson. 200. player. 832. . RB. Beavers
The Las Vegas Raiders will finish up their 2021 NFL Draft in the sixth round, as their final selection is No. 200 overall. There are several different ways the Raiders could go with this pick, but being the last selection, and not in the seventh round, they should look to add a quality player who can help them in 2021.
While Kenyan Drake will be Josh Jacobs’s No. 2 at running back, the Raiders could make a play for a back here, making Jalen Richard and his contract expendable. One player I got to enjoy watching covering the Pac-12 was Jermar Jefferson, who racked up over 850 yards and six touchdowns in only six games last season.
He is a hard runner who could take some of the load off of Jacobs and Drake and would be an excellent get this late in the draft.

Overall, this is a pretty solid haul for the Raiders across their eight selections in six rounds, but you never know where the actual selections will be when all is said and done. We have seen Mayock and Gruden move up and down in drafts in recent years, but if they do hang on to these eight spots, you would have to think this is a winning group being brought in.
