Draft Wrap-Up
It’s January. This is the first mock draft of many for the offseason. These projections will change after the Senior Bowl, the combine and weeks leading up to the final decisions at the podium as the Las Vegas Raiders make their first-ever selection at No. 12 of the first round.
Although not reflected in this mock, expect Mayock and Gruden to maneuver their trio of third-round picks to fill the selection gap between Nos. 19 and 80. The Raiders inexplicably sent their second-round pick to the Chicago Bears in the Khalil Mack deal, but they have the capital to move up or down for an early Day 2 spot.
In Las Vegas, Mayock and Gruden hope to stack another quality class on top of the 2019 group for a strong start at their new home. At a minimum, they should be able to acquire a dynamic perimeter weapon and add a couple of immediate impact players for the defense.
