Raiders potential draft picks to watch in the 2021-22 College Football Playoff

No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs

Nakobe Dean, Linebacker

Linebacker is going to be an interesting spot next season, as the Raiders have to figure out what they want to do with players like Marquel Lee, Cory Littleton, and Nicholas Morrow. Denzel Perryman has been outstanding and should be given a long-term deal, and from what we have seen from Divine Deablo, he could be a very good piece down the road.

Nakobe Dean is one of only a few first-round talents at the linebacker spot and should be available to the Raiders if they go that route in the first round. He is a three-down backer who plays sideline to sideline, making him an intriguing draft prospect.

Travon Walker, Defensive Lineman

The Georgia Bulldogs have some outstanding talent along their defensive line, and that group is a big reason why the team has gotten to the College Football Playoff. Travon Walker is a player that can play both on the edge, and along the interior of the defensive line, which is the kind of versatility that the Raiders need upfront on defense.

Las Vegas got great play from some of the guys they gambled on this season, including Darius Philon and Solomon Thomas, but that does not mean they do not need more reinforcements this offseason.

Jordan Davis, Defensive Tackle

Staying with this incredible Georgia defensive line, Jordan Davis is a player that could find himself selected in the top-10 of the 2022 NFL Draft. A mountain of a man, Davis has also been mocked later in round one, and if he is available towards the middle of the first, the Raiders have to take a long look at bringing in such a strong presence for the interior of their defensive line.
