It looks like the 2021 draft process will be similar to last year because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and that doesn’t sit well with Mike Mayock.
The Las Vegas Raiders’ general manager candidly said on Wednesday that he learned from last year’s draft experience and may have to use those lessons when picking players next month.
Last year, the Raiders drafted three of seven players who they projected to play a different position in the NFL than in college.
The Raiders took Kentucky’s Lynn Bowden Jr. to play running back after he played receiver and quarterback in college; Tanner Muse to play linebacker after he played safety at Clemson; and Louisiana Tech cornerback Amik Robertson to be a nickel cornerback after he played on the outside in college.
