2018 NFL Mock Draft: Oakland Raiders 7-round mock 1.0
By Brad Weiss
The Oakland Raiders will pick 11 times during the 2018 NFL Draft, and we take our first look at what their 7-round draft could look like in April.
As we inch ever so close to the 2018 NFL Draft, it is time to look at what the complete seven-round draft for the Oakland Raiders could look like. Heading into April, the Raiders still have a lot of holes to fill, but luckily for Raider Nation, they also have a lot of picks.
In total, the Raiders will pick 11 times during the draft, which is the second-most of any team in the NFL. They will likely target the defense early, but there are other holes on offense that they have to take care of for next season.
There is a new head coach in town in Jon Gruden, whose fingerprints are all over this roster already. He has been picking out the guys he wants in free agency, and having general manager Reggie McKenzie go out and get them.
Because of that, the 2018 Raiders will have a completely different look from the team that won only six games last season. The pieces are starting to fall into place, and if nothing else, this should be a much more competitive team then the one we saw a year ago.
Starting with the No. 10 overall pick in the first round, we take a look at all 11 selections that make sense for the Raiders this year. This is going to change as we get closer, and more free agents come in, but for now, dive in to our first 2018 Raiders seven-round mock draft.
