The Las Vegas Raiders brought in a solid haul with their 2021 NFL Draft class, and here are three current players on notice after the dust has settled.

With the dust settling after the 2021 NFL Draft, the Las Vegas Raiders not only addressed dire needs, they added difference makers as well. The Silver and Black elected to utilize five selections on the defensive side of the football, a unit that was atrocious at times in 2020.

Moreover, defensive coordinator Gus Bradley is committed to quickly fielding the best possible defense for the upcoming 2021 NFL season. With that being said, the new injection of talent through both the draft and free agency potentially means that incumbent starters may see a significant decrease in snaps if their production does not increase.

Ultimately, this bodes well for the Raider organization, as they cannot afford to field another bottom-tier defense this upcoming season. However, it may cloud the future of specific individuals already on the roster in Las Vegas.
