Oakland Raiders full seven-round 2019 NFL mock draft v4.0
By Brad Weiss
Fresno State. KeeSean Johnson. 196. player. 28. . Wide Receiver
Adding just one wide receiver this offseason is not going to fix their issues, and in the seventh round, they could add on a player who could contribute as a rookie. Last year, the Raiders were able to get Marcell Ateman in the seventh round, and he looks like he will be a part of the solution in Oakland, so why not roll the dice again in round seven.
KeeSean Johnson is a guy who played his college football at Fresno State, like quarterback Derek Carr, and has a skill set that will play well at the next level. Johnson made a name for himself at the East-West Shrine Game, and during his time with the Bulldogs, he re-wrote the school’s record book when it comes to receptions and receiving yards.
213. player. 28. . Cornerback. Michigan State. Justin Layne
When Justin Layne arrived in East Lansing, he was a wide receiver, and by the time he left, he was one of the better cornerbacks in the Big Ten. Layne took a major step forward in his development as a defensive back last season, earning second-team All-Big Ten honors, and is a guy who could hear his name called in the 2019 NFL Draft late.

Layne is a big of a project, but in Derrick Ansley, the Raiders have one of the better defensive backs coaches in the NFL. You cannot teach the kind of athletic ability that Layne has, and with Oakland, he would be another young cornerback in a rotation that should be much-improved in year two in Guenther’s scheme.
