We wrap up our 2022 7-round mock draft in the seventh round, and with the pick, the Silver and Black add another talented player to the secondary. De’Jahn Warren was so good coming out of Juco that he had a scholarship to Georgia, but instead flipped, and joined Deion Sanders at Jackson State University.

That move is going to bode well for him at the next level, as Sanders is one of the greatest cornerbacks to ever play the game. Getting a player like Warren this late, and being able to develop him behind Casey Hayward Jr. and Trayvon Mullen next season would give the Raiders more depth on the outside, especially with the emergence of slot corner Nate Hobbs in 2021.

Overall, this eight-player haul would be excellent for the Silver and Black, as they fix a few of their glaring issues, and get some reinforcements in others. Las Vegas needs to finally start capitalizing on their early-round draft picks, and now that Jon Gruden is no longer calling the shots, we will see how things change moving forward.
