ARLINGTON, TX - APRIL 26: A video board displays the text 'THE PICK IS IN' for the Oakland Raiders during the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft at AT
After a disappointing ending to a 2020 season that saw the Raiders go 8-8, Coach Gruden and Mike Mayock have to nail the 2021 NFL Draft.
The Raiders have a tendency to make surprise picks in the first round of the draft, such as taking Clemson’s Clelin Ferrell fourth overall over Kentucky’s Josh Allen and taking Henry Ruggs III and Damon Arnette in the first round last year.
