Oakland Raiders: 2019 NFL mock draft roundup 8.0

The 2019 NFL Draft is only a handful of days away, so let us look at who the experts have the Oakland Raiders taking in the first round one last time.

The Oakland Raiders hold three first round picks on Thursday, and after a standout offseason already, they have the opportunity to put the finishing touches on a nice rebuild. With three early picks, there are still a couple of holes left to fill, and luckily for them, this draft class is loaded with talent at some of their weak spots.

Here is our latest, and last 2019 NFL mock draft roundup.

Steve Silverman, Bleacher Report

Steve Silverman over at Bleacher Report ran his mock draft today, and he has the Raiders adding an edge rusher early in the first round in the person of Josh Allen from Kentucky. Allen would be an excellent addition early in round one, and later on, he has the team closing out their first round with two offensive weapons in Hakeem Butler (24), and Irv Smith Jr. (27).

Chad Reuter, NFL.com

On Friday, Chad Reuter from NFL.com dropped his latest mock draft, and he has the Raiders doing something I completely do not agree with. Reuter has Oakland trading up only two spots to take Missouri quarterback Drew Lock, but does not specify how. In fact, he has the Raiders keeping both late first round picks, adding Clelin Ferrell at No. 24, and Byron Murphy at No. 27.

Ryan Wilson, CBS Sports

Thursday, Ryan Wilson from CBSSports.com released his latest 2019 NFL mock draft, the Raiders stay at No. 4 overall, but instead of an edge rusher, they take Quinnen Williams from Alabama. In addition, he has the Raiders trading pick No. 27 for pick No. 11 with Cincinnati, adding Florida State edge rusher Brian Burns.At No. 24, Oakland adds to their secondary by selecting Michigan State corner Justin Layne.

Luke Easterling, Draft Wire

Earlier this week, Luke Easterling from Draft Wire posted his latest 2019 NFL mock draft. Easterling also likes the Raiders to add Josh Allen from Kentucky at No. 4 overall, but he has the team adding an offensive weapon at No. 24. With that pick, Oakland brings in Noah Fant, a terrific tight end from Iowa, and finish up by adding Byron Murphy at 27.

Walter Campbell, WalterFootball.com

Over at WalterFootball.com, the latest by Walter has the Raiders taking Josh Allen at No. 4 as well, but then he likes the team to shift the focus to the offensive side of the ball. At No. 24, the team grabs Alabama running back Josh Jacobs, before finalizing their first round with tight end Noah Fant from Iowa.

Only five days remain before the 2019 NFL Draft, and the Raiders will get to work early, holding the No. 4 overall pick. They have sent the scouts home, have their board ready, and I personally cannot wait for the party to get started.
