Raiders will pick at No. 17 in 2021 NFL Draft after finishing 8-8

With their Week 17 win over the Denver Broncos, the Raiders will officially pick at No. 17 in the 2021 NFL Draft.

With their Week 17 win over the Denver Broncos, the Raiders will officially pick at No. 17 in the 2021 NFL Draft. There was a chance that their pick could have moved up some with a loss on Sunday, but their last-second win over the Broncos will keep them at the No. 17 spot.

Only the Miami Dolphins (No. 18) will have a lower draft pick despite not making the playoffs as they finished the season at 10-6 in the AFC. The Raiders will leapfrog the Cardinals in the second round, but due to having higher strength of schedule, they will pick behind them in the first round.

While compensatory picks still need to be sorted out, here are the following picks the Raiders are expected to have in April’s draft:

No. 17

No. 48

No. 81

No. 112

No. 146

No. 179

No. 212

Heading into the offseason, you can bet that you will see a ton of mock drafts with the Raiders adding to their defense in the first round. Look for pass rushers and linebackers to be often mocked to the Raiders with their first pick.
