The Las Vegas Raiders are still figuring out the roster for the 2021 NFL season, but we decided to take a look at some 2022 draft targets for the first round.

The 2021 season has not even started, and we are fully aware of this here at JustBlogBaby, but this does not mean that we should not overlook the talent on the horizon for the upcoming 2022 NFL Draft. Looking at what a potential first round could look like, the Las Vegas Raiders would be in a great position to upgrade at one of their potential weak spots next April in a big way.

Depending on who declares, and what their performances in 2021 look like, these 2022 draft prospects may either see a significant leap or dip in their draft stock. But as of right now, and their past performances, we seem to have a pretty solid gauge of what the talent stock looks like for this upcoming draft.

The 2022 draft at the moment seems to look like a very balanced draft of defensive and offensive talent, signifying if you have a hole to fill, there is surely a player for you in this draft. This also seems to fare very well for the Raiders, considering that there is plenty of defensive talent available in this draft.

The Raiders have some holes to fill with more than a few positions, and not just the defense, unfortunately, and with that being said, let’s take a look at four possible draft choices for the Las Vegas Raiders in the first round in 2022.
