Las Vegas Raiders: 3 trade scenarios for CB Xavien Howard

Young teams are looking for ways to make their players younger and better. In this trade scenario, the Miami Dolphins are sent a boatload of draft picks, including a first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. Overall, Las Vegas sends the Dolphins three picks, including two Day 2 picks in 2023.

The Raiders have not done well in terms of their first-round picks, so they could be getting a first-round talent without the guesswork.  Currently, the Raiders have secondary players that I’m skeptical of, to say the least, as Dameon Arnette didn’t play up to his hype, and is being called an Opening Day starter.

Trayvon Mullen is a guy who could end up being a tremendous player for the Raiders, especially when he’s at the top of the game, but outside of him, and say, Casey Hayward, there are way too many questions at the position group right now. The Raiders have a bunch of new faces on the defense and they could add another one if they were willing to pay a little bit.
