2021 NFL Draft: 2-round mock draft using ESPN’s order prediction
The Las Vegas Raiders can’t pass up this kind of bargain.
Justin Fields has QB1 potential so for the Raiders to be able to get him here with the 9th overall pick is a steal.
For three years, the Raiders have fooled everyone into thinking they’re going a different direction than Derek Carr, but Carr has continued to stick around.
Mike Mayock and Jon Gruden have assembled a talented roster full of guys, and Fields could really be the final piece of the puzzle if Carr stifles the growth of this squad in 2020.
No Pac 12 football means no Joe Tryon in 2020, but that won’t prevent him from being taken high in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Tryon had eight sacks and 12.5 tackles for loss last year for the Huskies, and he could come into the Raiders’ rotation and provide a nice boost off the edge in the pass rush department.
