Oakland Raiders 7-Round Mock Draft entering Super Bowl Sunday
By Brad Weiss
The Raiders have two picks in the seventh round of the 2019 NFL Draft, and could look to add another wide receiver late. Last year, they drafted Marcell Ateman in the seventh round, and he showed that he can play at the NFL level, and maybe they can get healthy with another rangy wideout this April.
During his time at Fresno State, KeeSean Johnson became a prolific wide receiver, leading racking up over 1,000 yards this past season. He capped off his record-breaking career by turning heads in the East-West Shrine Game, and is one of those wideouts that you know is going to be reliable every time you throw him the ball.
Saquan Hampton from Rutgers is a safety prospect that could hear his name called in the 2019 NFL Draft, and the Raiders would be wise to take a look at him with their final pick of the draft. Hampton stepped up during the East-West Shrine Game, turning some heads with his physical play, exhibiting the style of play that Raiders fans love from their safeties.
Adding Hampton makes a lot of sense, and going into next season with Harris, Joseph, Adderley and Hampton would give the Raiders solid depth. If the Raiders are to contend in the AFC West, they have to be able to stop the pass, and over the last decade, that has been a glaring weakness on this team.
