The Raiders selected Alex Leatherwood in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, stunning everyone in sight. Now, pushing that aside, the team now needs to address the rest of the roster. With so much talent available, the team could not help but actually bolster their rather shaky roster depth. Below, the players that could immediately help the Las Vegas Raiders cobble together a competent roster.
Azeez Ojulari
The former Georgia edge rusher would initial apprentice behind Yannick Ngakoue. However, the twitchy pass rusher would see the field in passing situations, giving Gus Bradley an athletic piece to the rush puzzle. Ojulari, at 48, would be a major steal and excellent value pick.
Trevon Moehrig
The best safety in the 2021 NFL Draft. Whether he hangs around until the middle of the second remains quite the question. If he does, the Raiders desperately need to make that move. Karl Joseph, at best, is a one-year signing. Plus, he’s not a true free safety. In coverage, down the deep middle is a problem for him.

Ep 38: Tyreek Hill Traded To The Dolphins
by Full Press Coverage on March 24, 2022 at 12:10 am
Levi Onwuzurike
Heavy-handed tackle that gives the Raiders actual pocket push. Versus the run, the Washington standout excels versus the run. Now, as a pass rusher, his rush set is rather raw. However, what he does do is fold the pocket inward. That is to say, Onwuzurike will jolt the guard into the backfield, sending the quarterback east/west. The ends could benefit from his selection.
Richie Grant
Again, the draft board smiles upon the Raiders, granting them a chance to fix a gaping defensive hole. Richie Grant brings range a nuance to playing safety. He doesn’t panic when targeted. Instead, he brings calm and a knack for making a play on the ball. Blessed with ball skills and vision, the Raiders could deploy him as an eraser for faulty coverage on the back end.
Bottom Line
The Raiders need defensive playmakers. Athletes on that defense are not prevalent. In today’s NFL, the scheme is a marriage of plays and ability. Gus Bradley needs all of the playmakers that he can find.
