The Las Vegas Raiders hold five picks on Day 3 of the 2022 NFL Draft, and here is where they stand as the fourth-round gets kicked off.
After sitting out the first day of the 2022 NFL Draft, thanks to the trade they made for Davante Adams with the Green Bay Packers, the Raiders finally turned in an index card on Friday night. Of course, it was not until late in the third round, as the Adams trade also landed the Packers the Raiders’ second-round pick.
In the end, Las Vegas traded down a few spots with the Tennessee Titans and then would go on to select Memphis offensive lineman Dylan Parham at pick No. 90 overall. That could turn out to be a perfect fit for the Silver and Black, as he is a versatile offensive lineman who played both guard and right tackle in college.
Now, we turn our attention to Day 3 of the 2022 NFL Draft, where the Raiders hold five picks across the four rounds.

There are still a ton of elite players remaining, including those who can significantly upgrade this roster right out of the gate. Pick No. 106 will get the party started on Saturday afternoon, and the Raiders will pick at No. 126 overall, so there could be a special player waiting for general manager David Ziegler and his staff.
Raiders 2022 NFL Draft: 5 athletic gems to find on Day 3
With no picks in the first couple rounds, the Las Vegas Raiders will need to find steals in the mid to late rounds, and here are some to target.
There are many areas Las Vegas could target today, including bringing in more talent along the offensive line, bolstering the interior of the defensive line, targeting a linebacker, and bringing in more help in the defensive backfield. Overall, the five-pick haul could change, as the team moves up and down in the draft, but in the end, you have to think Ziegler is going to bring in at least a few guys who can fight for a starting job right out of the gate.
