Raiders: What to expect in Year 2 for the 2021 NFL Draft picks
By Brad Weiss
The Las Vegas Raiders hit and missed during the 2021 NFL Draft, and here is what we can expect from those players selected in Year 2.
It has been over a year since the Las Vegas Raiders took part in the 2021 NFL Draft, a draft that netted them some special players. As rookies, guys like Tre’Von Moehrig, Nate Hobbs, and Divine Deablo flashed, while first-round pick, Alex Leatherwood struggled in a big way as the right tackle, eventually kicking inside.
When all was said and done, this is what the 2021 Raiders draft haul looked like:
2021 Raiders Draft picks
Round 1, pick 17: OT Alex Leatherwood
Round 2, pick 43: S Tre’von Moehrig
Round 3, pick 79: DE Malcolm Koonce
Round 3, pick 80: LB Divine Deablo
Round 4, pick 143: S Tyree Gillespie
Round 5, pick 167: CB Nate Hobbs
Round 7, pick 230: C Jimmy Morrissey
As you can see, Las Vegas hit the lottery with some picks, and some still need time to develop, but all in all, it was a refreshing group to bring in. Now, as this group enters the second season of their NFL careers, we take a look at what we can expect from those who still wear the Silver and Black.
We start with the second-to-last pick, Nate Hobbs, as Jimmy Morrissey is currently a member of the Houston Texans
