Oakland Raiders: Pre-Combine 7-Round 2019 mock draft

The Raiders need depth at all of their linebacker positions moving forward, and at the middle linebacker spot, they could be in the market for a starter. Enter Joe Giles-Harris, a protoypical middle linebacker from Duke who has the talent, and smarts to be a starter on this Raiders defense in year one.

Giles-Harris stands 6-foot-2, and weighs nearly 240 pounds, making him the perfect size to play middle linebacker at the NFL level. While he does need some help in coverage, there is no denying the kind of punishment he can bring when he makes a tackle, making him an attractive prospect in Round 5 for a team in need of inside linebacker help.

Last season, Oakland got great play from their tight ends, as Jared Cook and Lee Smith were two of the highest graded players at their position in the AFC West according to Pro Football Focus. While Smith will definitely be back in 2019, Cook is a free agent, and after leading the Raiders in receiving yards the last two seasons, he will definitely have a strong market.

Caleb Wilson from UCLA is an interesting prospect, because he can do so many things well at the tight end position, as he is a solid blocker and pass-catcher. The Raiders could use his versatility in their offense next season, and if they cannot get Cook to come back, his production will have to be replaced in a big way.
