Staff predictions for Oakland Raiders first-round picks in 2019
By Brad Weiss
The Oakland Raiders have three first round picks in 2019, and our staff takes a look at who they could target with the selections next April.
The Oakland Raiders currently hold three first round picks in the 2019 NFL Draft, as they traded away two of their building blocks for the future to receive the selections from the Chicago Bears and Dallas Cowboys. In the Bears trade, they let Khalil Mack go, and he has become the reason the Bears are the best team in the NFC North this season.
Dallas got Amari Cooper, who has done nothing but help them win games since he got to the Cowboys, and they currently sit in first place in the NFC East. While it has been tough for Raiders fans to watch such fan favorites excel with other organizations, the only hope is that they can capitalize on the three first rounders in 2019.
With the three selections in hand, we thought it would be fun to mock the first round as a staff, as we all took a stab at who the Raiders could bring in.
Here is a look at who our staff feels the team should pick with their three first round picks next April.
