The Las Vegas Raiders haven't had much luck in the NFL Draft since 2019. In fact, they've been one of the worst -- if not THE worst -- at picking good players over the last couple of years. READ: FrontOffice33 | RaiderNation
—was easier said than done for the Las Vegas Raiders. You’d be hard-pressed to find a team whose front office drafted worse from 2019 to 2021.
Wrong. The Raiders drafted defensive end Clelin Ferrell, running back Josh Jacobs, and safety Johnathan Abram with their three first-round picks. Fast forward to 2022, the Raiders elected not to exercise the fifth-year option on any of their 2019 first-rounders, including Jacobs. Mayock and then-head coach Jon Gruden couldn’t successfully draft a long-term impact player in that first round.
However, what Mayock seemed to overlook is that off-the-field characteristics are just as important as what players do on the field. Neither Ruggs nor Arnette made it through their second year in the NFL before the Raiders released them for very serious and tragic off-field issues. That brings us to the last draft of the Mayock era, the 2021 NFL draft. With the 17th overall pick in last year’s draft, the Raiders took Alabama tackle Alex Leatherwood, another pick that was immediately identified as a reach.
