Eddy Pineiro

The Raiders have been through a bunch of kickers already this season, including Matt McCrane, Mike Nugent, and their current kicker, Daniel Carlson. After the 2018 NFL Draft, the team went out and signed Eddy Pineiro, who will hopefully be the long-term solution moving forward at the position.

Chris Warren III

The most electric player for the Raiders during the preseason was running back Chris Warren III, who led the NFL in rushing yards before injuring his knee. Warren’s father was a star running back for the Seattle Seahawks, and based on what we saw this summer, Warren figures to be a guy who will tote the rock quite a bit for the Raiders in 2019.

Class Grade

There have been flashes of brilliance from this rookie class this season, and Miller has shown he has the strength, and fortitude to be a starting left tackle in the NFL. The Raiders have a ton of draft picks over the next two years, and these three draft classes will be the backbone of what this team is going to be for years to come.

Overall Grade: C
