Raiders draft 2024: 7-round mock draft

1st of 3 mock drafts this week

Hey, it’s draft week. To celebrate we’re offering a full seven-round Las Vegas Raiders mock draft. This one has no trades. I will offer two more full Raiders’ mocks this week, one that offers trades and the other that features a huge trade up. Full disclosure: Some players may appear on multiple mocks as we try exercise our way up to draft day Thursday:

Let’s get it done:

First round

No. 13: Alabama cornerback Terrion Arnold:

Was tempted to go get a tackle, but Arnold just seems like the type of guy new general manager Tom Telesco and coach Antonio Pierce want to build around. He would be an instant starter opposite Jack Jones and make a very solid starting cornerback group with Jones and nickel Nate Hobbs. The Raiders would be strong at cornerback and bolster an already solid defense.

No. 44: BYU tackle Kingsley Suamataia:

The Raiders would fill another need here with a prospect who has huge upside. He can develop into a nice player and he could be drafted earlier.

Third round

No. 77: South Carolina quarterback Spencer Rattler:

The Raiders wait to add a quarterback here and Rattler could be a very nice lottery ticket and good value. In this scenario, it would kickoff the Aidan O’Connell-Gardner Minshew quarterback competition for 2024 with Rattler having a chance to be developed as a 2025 starting option.

Fourth round

No. 112: LSU defensive tackle Mekhi Wingo:

He would be a solid value here and help at a need position. He would be put in a great situation on a veteran line and have a chance to contribute right away for Las Vegas.

Fifth round:

No. 148: Michigan guard Trevor Keegan:

The Raiders studied the Wolverines’ offensive lineman and Keegan has a chance to develop into a starter. He offers solid value and will have a chance to develop quickly.

Sixth round

No. 208: Travis Glover, tackle, Georgia State:

The Raiders reportedly visited with Glover, who has a chance to be a steal. He can never have enough offensive linemen.

Seventh round:

No. 223: Edefaun Ulofoshio, linebacker, Washington:

The Raiders have studied Ulofoshio and he would be a nice get in the seventh round at a position where they could use some youth and depth.

No. 229: Trey Taylor, safety, Air Force:

The Raiders have shown interest in the Jim Thorpe Award winner and he could be a nice final piece to this draft.

Conclusion:

This draft would give the Raiders some solid value and fills some needs.
