The Oakland Raiders have a bunch of rookies on their 90-man roster, and we dive into what the fans can expect from each one in 2018.

We are only a week into training camp, but there have been some rookies who have stood out in their first summer with the Oakland Raiders. Whether it has been first round pick Kolton Miller, or seventh round pick Marcell Ateman, it seems like every rookie is carving out their place on the roster.

While Miller is going to be expected to start in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Rams, some of the rookies listed in the piece may have a hard time even making the team. There have been some standout performances through the first week of training camp, and some veterans could be in danger of losing a roster spot.

In the 2018 NFL Draft, the Raiders made nine selections, and all nine of them look like they could make the 53-man roster out of training camp. They also added some rookies as undrafted free agents, including kicker Eddy Pineiro, who is battling Giorgio Tavecchio for the starting spot this summer.

Let us take a look at all the rookies currently on the 90-man roster, and what the fans can expect from them during the 2018 NFL season.
