Las Vegas Raiders fill roster holes in early 7-round 2022 NFL mock draft
James Cook. 218. player. 814. . Running Back. Bulldogs
The Raiders are okay at running back for the moment, but some big decisions will need to be made on extending Josh Jacobs and whether to keep Kenyan Drake after 2022.
So they could look to add a bit of insurance late in the draft. James Cook is the brother of star running back Dalvin Cook, and although they have a similar running style, James is significantly smaller in weight.
Part of a loaded Georgia backfield, Cook will never have to opportunity to be a lead back, but that could bode well for him as he enters the NFL with less wear and tear. He could come into the league and be a solid change of pace running back.
Cornerback. Las Vegas Raiders. Joshua Williams. 235. player. 28.

Division II prospects are always a gamble because the jump in competition is so massive. However, the first step in transitioning to the NFL is to have elite athleticism, and Joshua Williams has that.
At 6’3 and 195lbs, Williams is reportedly clocked at a 4.40 in the forty-yard dash and appears to have good ball skills from the few clips you can find. So at this point in the draft, he could be a worthwhile gamble.
