The Raiders have several pressing needs ahead of April’s NFL draft. Perhaps looking early on at the Georgia Bulldogs for some help isn’t such a bad idea.

Under general manager Mike Mayock and head coach Jon Gruden, the Las Vegas Raiders often looked to Clemson for talent. They did this in hopes of building a championship culture, living off what many dubbed the “Clemson pipeline.”

Several key players, such as Hunter Renfrow, emerged from following that philosophy. Perhaps the Raiders’ new brass can follow suit and look to another championship program.

It wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world if Dave Ziegler and Josh McDaniels (who are now in charge in Sin City) siphoned a couple of players from Georgia. Specifically, two young men who would quickly improve the trenches in Las Vegas.

Here, we take a look at a quick three-round 2022 NFL Mock Draft, one that brings some national champions to the desert.
