A few days ago, the Houston Texans were unveiled as the last-ranked team in these power rankings. Today, there is a bit of a surprise as to who number 31 is in these power rankings. That team is the Las Vegas Raiders.
With the 2021 NFL Draft over and the schedule officially being released, it’s time for my third annual 32 part series where the top three questions will be posed for each NFL team. Here are those three questions for the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Las Vegas Raiders had a very Raiders Esque draft. Mike Mayock and Jon Gruden made questionable decisions all over the place that had the fans going crazy. Many said this selection was a reach and that they could’ve gotten Alex Leatherwood in the second round if they traded back. This is simply not true, however.
The first round of the NFL Draft featured a plethora of surprises, but perhaps none were as eye-opening as these five reaches.
The dust is still settling from a chaotic first round last night. Trades all over the place, players sliding and players rising… it seemed to be a night that no one could have predicted.
As free agency and the draft approach, every team has some level of excitement. Some teams are looking to contend in 2021. Others only want to move in the right direction. However, the NFL is unique in that every team has a chance to win the Super Bowl each season. Let’s conclude our look into the AFC by taking a look at the AFC West.
With as volatile as football can be, the smallest of breaks could launch a Super Bowl run. Even the 1-15 Jacksonville Jaguars could position themselves to be a contender. Unlikely? Sure, but football is unpredictable for a reason. There is a path for all 32 teams to win Super Bowl LVI.
Let’s continue with the AFC West.
The Las Vegas Raiders had an up-and-down first season in Las Vegas. They were very busy during free agency, adding solid options on both sides of the ball. A successful draft will give Las Vegas a good chance of really improving in 2021. Shoring up the defense will likely be a main focus, so let’s dive into this seven-round mock draft.
After bringing on Jon Gruden for a massive contract, the Las Vegas Raiders truly hit the heights that Jack Del Rio did years ago. The Chargers, Broncos, and Chiefs are all improving, so it is time for Gruden to fix his drafting philosophy. The past few years have been unfruitful for the Raiders, so let’s see if this draft may turn the tide in an overpowered division.
Prior to the 2020 NFL season, three questions were posed for each of the 32 teams. This is the recap and answers to those questions for the Las Vegas Raiders.
Jon Gruden’s rebuild of the Las Vegas Raiders continued at snail’s pace in 2020. While the franchise relocated to Las Vegas, but still looked the same as in the first two years of Gruden’s comeback tour.
In their first year in Las Vegas, the Raiders had a season of ups and downs. They started the season with a 6-3 record over their first nine games, with wins over the New Orleans Saints, Kansas City Chiefs, and Cleveland Browns. However, they went 2-5 over their final seven games and ended the year with an 8-8 record, and missed the playoffs.
