2021 NFL Draft: Top-5 targets for the Las Vegas Raiders on Day 2

After a potential reach in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, the Las Vegas Raiders have to get it right on Day 2. Here are five targets for them Friday.

On Day 1 of the 2021 NFL Draft, the Las Vegas Raiders stunned fans and experts alike by drafting Alabama offensive lineman, Alex Leatherwood, with the 17th overall pick in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft. While this pick certainly fits a need, there are still many more areas of the roster that the team can address, and the good thing is that the Raiders have seven more picks as of right now heading into Day 2.

The defense, most notably, needs to add more talent, especially with Gus Bradley stepping into the role of defensive coordinator in the 2021 season. On Day 2, there is no doubt that Las Vegas will look to add a few more pieces that can add a spark to this group, and there is more than enough solid talent left after the first 32 picks came off the board.

There is no question that Jon Gruden, being the offensive-minded head coach that he is, will look to add a few more unique weapons and solid role players to his already talented offense. However, it could be a best-case scenario for the franchise for them to go defensive with pick No. 48 to kick off the night.

These are the top five prospects that the Las Vegas Raiders should target on Day Two.
