Looking ahead
We will have to wait until the Arizona Cardinals game, but the Oakland Raiders will stay in the top-3 when it comes to the 2019 NFL Draft. The Raiders came into the Ravens game as one of three teams with only two wins this season, as they are joined by the Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers, who lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
This has been a very disappointing season for the Raiders, who better hit the lottery when it comes to their draft picks next April. They have three first round picks, but it is looking like only the one they started with will be in the top half of the draft, as the picks from Chicago and Dallas continue to fall.
The Raiders head home next Sunday to take on the Kansas City Chiefs, so you can only imagine what the final score of that game is going to be. Oakland hung in there for two-plus quarters on Sunday, but if they can allow 34 to the Ravens, the thought of taking on Patrick Mahomes and his weapons looks like a nightmare right now.
