Las Vegas Raiders find value by trading down in 7-round NFL mock draft
Las Vegas Raiders 2021 NFL mock draft: Round 4, 121st overall
Another pick, another interesting defensive addition for the Las Vegas Raiders. Andre Cisco struggled with injuries throughout his college career and is not always the most reliable player on the back-end. That being said, Cisco has tremendous natural ball skills and has a knack for making the big play.
Cisco only played in 24 games throughout his college career. In those 24 games, the Syracuse safety forced an impressive 15 turnovers (13 interceptions and two forced fumbles). He has impressive range on the back-end and is a natural playmaker when the ball is in the air. While Cisco undoubtedly plays out of control at times, it is difficult to find that kind of ball production for a defensive player. Snagging Cisco in the fourth round would be a worthy risk.
Las Vegas Raiders 2021 NFL mock draft: Round 5, 162nd overall
The Las Vegas Raiders go back to the offensive line by adding Sadarius Hutcherson in the fifth round of this 2021 NFL mock draft. Hutcherson played both tackle and guard in college but is likely best-suited to play inside at the next level.
The South Carolina product is a big and powerful player who wins with impressive power at the point of attack and consistently plays through the whistle. Hutcherson also shows solid movement ability in space and impressive awareness as a pass protector. Make no mistake about it, Hutcherson is a talented offensive guard prospect who could come in and provide quality depth for the Raiders up front.
