NFL 2021 draft: Full Las Vegas Raiders mock

We’re just 17 days away from the 2021 NFL draft so it’s time to do a full Las Vegas Raiders mock draft as we countdown to April 29.

We will do another right before the draft. FYI, there are no trades n this mock, I will do a mock with trades soon.

Until then, here we go!

ROUND 1

• No. 17 — USC Offensive lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker:
  He’s been my pick for a while. I like the value and his long-term projection at either right tackle or at guard. He seems like a safe bet to be a quality player for a long time.

ROUND 2

• No. 48 — Central Florida safety Richie Grant:
  This would be a great value at a need position. Grant would get a chance to make an immediate impact on the secondary.

ROUND 3

• No. 79 (via Arizona) — UAB Jordan Smith:
  He is a solid pass rusher who the team can groom behind Yannick Ngakoue and Maxx Crosby.
• No. 80 — Ohio State linebacker Baron Browning:
  The Raiders need to develop young linebackers and Browning would be a great player to do that with.

ROUND 4

• No. 121 — LSU defensive tackle Tyler Shelvin:
  I know the Raiders are thick on the defensive line, but Shelvin would be a good player to add.

ROUND 5

• No. 162 (via Miami) — Ohio State offensive lineman Thayer Munford:
  He is versatile like Vera-Tucker. The more young offensive linemen the merrier.
• No. 167 (via Seattle) — Louisville linebacker Dorian Etheridge:
  Another depth piece to develop.

ROUND 6

• No. 200 — Clemson receiver Amari Rodgers
  Another Raiders’ receiver named Amari. Another Clemson player in Las Vegas. Why not?
