NFL draft 2021: How far can the Raiders move up?
Jon Gruden, Mike Mayock Photo by Don Juan Moore/Getty Images I’ve been a proponent of the Las Vegas Raiders being aggressive in the 2021 NFL draft in an attempt to bring impact players.
That would likely require a trade up, which hasn’t been the style of the Jon Gruden-Mike Mayock front office to date. The Raiders have owned five first-round draft picks in the past two years and they didn’t make a deal involving any first-round pick.
This year, I believe it’s time for the Raiders to boldly make a move in the draft. They can try to move up using their pick, No. 17, or they could try to acquire a second first-round pick and I think that may be the way to go.
