As the new regime gets ready for their first draft in Vegas, news sputters regarding their interest in Jacksonville’s WR, DJ Chark. With this in mind, let’s take a look at a mock draft with Chark on the roster.

As we all know by now, the Las Vegas Raiders’ new general manager and head coach tandem are entering their first offseason together, and as such, also preparing for their first draft as part of the Silver and Black.

In recent Raiders news, the team hailing from Las Vegas was reported to have significant interest in Jacksonville’s DJ Chark. Chark is an athletic, playmaking receiver, who is sure to give the Raiders that deep threat they love to utilize.

With names like Davante Adams involved in free agency, it’s no surprise not all of Raider Nation fully supported this [possible] move. After all, it’s not only true Davante Adams is entering free agency, albeit with the likely chance of getting franchise tagged, but the Green Bay receiver has also publicly stated his desire to play with Derek Carr.

Feeding off of this report, I decided to put together a full 7-round mock, with the assumption Vegas does in fact bring Chark on board. While it may sound like bringing in Chark will halt drafting a receiver, don’t be so sure – Chark is likely not enough to turn this thing around by himself.

We’ll break down each pick, each ramification, and summarize what this draft takes care of, as well as what it didn’t address.
