Oakland Raiders: 2019 NFL Combine Who to Watch Day 2
The Oakland Raiders have a lack of weapons on offense, but this draft class may provide the cure they need.
Day 1 of the combine athletic testing is done as the lineman, and running backs showed off their physical trait to all the GM’s and coaches in the league. Now it is time for the rest of the offensive skill positions to test, and there are some exciting prospects to watch. The quarterbacks are always going to be talked about, but this may be one of the deepest wide receiver and tight classes in recent memory.
Last year the Raiders only took one receiver in the draft, and it was Marcell Ateman in the seventh round. Then after the Amari Cooper trade, Derek Carr was basically left with no one to throw to outside of Jared Cook. So Oakland could use upgrades or replacements at every pass catching position, and this class will allow such strategy if they choose it.
And with the situation at quarterback seemingly secure, perhaps the Raiders could use there draft position and one of the QB prospects as bait to trade and collect more assets to further improve their offensive weapons.
Here are five prospects from each position to look out for during day 2 of the combine.
