Drafting mock drafts in early November was not the optimal scenario that Raider Nation had been dreaming about when it comes to the 2022 Las Vegas Raiders. Unfortunately, reality is often more of a disappointment than we’d like to admit. That logic applies to the 2022 version of the Raiders. With a new regime headed by the coaching and general manager duo of Josh McDaniels and Dave Ziegler firmly entrenched, laying the foundation for the future begins next April. Despite big-time acquisitions such as Davante Adams and Chandler Jones, the team has largely been a disappointment of epic proportions. At 2-6, the Raiders are currently on pace for the third overall pick, though things can change between now and December when we’ll have a clearer picture of what the top of the order will look like.
