Oakland Raiders: 8 Lessons From The 53-man Roster and Depth Chart

Four undrafted rookies make the roster

Wide receiver Johnny Holton, cornerback Antonio Hamilton, defensive tackle Darius Latham and running back Richard all made the final roster as undrafted free agents.

Holton looked good throughout the preseason, including the final two performances. He beat out K.J. Brent for the fifth roster spot.

Latham was ranked, per Pro Football Focus, as one of the best rookies through two preseason games. He finished the preseason finale with five tackles and one pass deflected.

Added, Hamilton and Richard came on late in the preseason.

These four guys are the latest undrafted free agents to leave an impression in Oakland.

Over the past few seasons, guys like Denico Autry and Seth Roberts made impressions despite not getting drafted. Expect the same thing from these four guys.

A playoff team like the Raiders needs quality depth at the end of the depth chart. They push starters in practice, and they can develop into something more with time.
