After months of evaluation, nitpicking and debate, The NFL Draft is finally just around the corner.

The draft has been discussed here on JBB from just about every conceivable angle. So now that scouting reports have been done on just about every potential pick for the Oakland Raiders in the first round, it’s time to rank those options.

It’s pretty much a foregone conclusion that Laremy Tunsil, Jalen Ramsey, Joey Bosa, Myles Jack, Ronnie Stanley and DeForest Buckner will be off the board when the Raiders are on the clock with pick #14, so they aren’t included.

A couple notes before we get started…The players are ranked in order in terms of preference, and you can click on the name of each player to view a detailed scouting report on that particular player.

Let’s get to it.
