Oakland Raiders: Checking out the too-early mock NFL Drafts for 2019

The 2018 NFL Draft is less than a month old, but it is never too early for media outlets to release mock drafts for 2019. Here are a few of the experts’ picks.

With their first round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Oakland Raiders selected UCLA left tackle Kolton Miller. While many did not project him to be a first round pick, he does fill a need for the Raiders, and should get playing time right away.

Starting immediately after the 2018 NFL Draft ends, news outlets all over America begin to look at the 2019 NFL Draft. Mock drafts are plastered all over the internet, and while they are usually very thought out and researched, it is still kind of early to be discussing needs before the teams even hit OTAs.

Still, it is always exciting to read these things, and start to think about who your favorite team may be selecting next April. For the Raiders, they still have holes to fill, and they have aging players at many spots, so why not take a look at who the team may decide to select in the first round.

NFL Draft orders are laid out based on how the team fares the season before, so there is no telling where Oakland will pick in the first round next year. However, some draft experts took their swings at it, and we owe it to ourselves to take a look at a couple of them.

Here are a few of the mock drafts floating around the internet.
