Raiders’ 2021 draft class: where are players like Alex Leatherwood now?
Summary

The Las Vegas Raiders' 2021 draft class is under review, highlighting players such as Alex Leatherwood, Tre’von Moehrig, and more. Leatherwood, the first-round pick, started 17 games with the Raiders but played only four games with the Chicago Bears before being cut. Moehrig has transitioned successfully to the Carolina Panthers after a productive stint with the Raiders. Meanwhile, Malcolm Koonce remains with the Raiders, seeking to regain form following an injury, while Divine Deablo has made strides as a linebacker with the Atlanta Falcons after struggling in Las Vegas. The evaluation underscores the challenges faced by the Raiders' draft strategy under Jon Gruden and Mike Mayock, especially with several players not meeting expectations or failing to secure long-term roles.
