Oakland Raiders Mock Draft: JBB Staff Edition
By Chase Ruttig
Just Blog Baby’s 2016 Oakland Raiders Mock Draft.
The NFL Draft starts in Chicago tonight, and the Oakland Raiders will be competing with the rest of the NFL to find the right mix of prospects to hopefully build a Super Bowl core through the draft. General manager Reggie McKenzie looking to work his magic in the middle of the pack this weekend after spending two years at the top of the draft order, high picks that brought in several star franchise cornerstones.
Picking in the 14 hole, McKenzie and the Raiders are in a spot that will make their 2016 Draft one that is hard to predict. With more changing factors in each round picking in the middle of the pack, the Raiders will be in a position where they are hoping that talented players can fall to them and they can pounce on undervalued talents that should have gone earlier in each round.
