The Oakland Raiders capped off three days of excitement during the 2019 NFL Draft on Saturday, and here is the complete draft haul.
The 2019 NFL Draft has come to a close for the Oakland Raiders, who focused on both sides of the ball with their nine picks. Oakland kicked off their 2019 draft by selecting an edge rusher, adding Clelin Ferrell at No. 4 overall, and wrapped things up by selecting an edge rusher as well.
That man is Quinton Bell from Prairie View, whom the team took at No. 230 overall. In between these two edge rushers, Oakland added a running back, wide receiver, two cornerbacks, a safety, another edge rusher, and a tight end.
First-year general manager Mike Mayock navigated his first NFL Draft as a GM with incredible poise, as he and head coach Jon Gruden got a ton of talent. There are plenty of guys in this class who could start right away for Oakland, and that is exactly what they were trying to do.
Here is the complete list of the Raiders 2019 draft class
- Round 1, Pick No. 4: Clelin Ferrell, Edge, Clemson
- Round 1, Pick No. 24: Josh Jacobs, RB, Alabama
- Round 1, Pick No. 27: Johnathan Abram, S, Mississippi State
- Round 2, Pick No. 40: Trayvon Mullen, CB, Clemson
- Round 4, Pick No. 106: Maxx Crosby, Edge, Eastern Michigan
- Round 4, Pick No. 129: Isaiah Johnson, CB, Houston
- Round 4, Pick No. 137: Foster Moreau, TE, LSU
- Round 5, Pick No. 149: Hunter Renfrow, WR, Clemson
- Round 7, Pick No. 230: Quinton Bell, DE, Prairie View
Overall, this was a solid draft for the Raiders, who made it a point to bring in high quality guys to change the culture in the building. Mayock and Gruden are building something special, and these nine guys are going to be foundational players moving forward.
Our Jose Sanchez will be bringing more indepth analysis of all the picks on Sunday, as we start to really dive into this 2019 draft class. It was certainly a solid one for first-year general manager Mike Mayock, and we will now turn our focus to those undrafted free agents the Raiders bring in.
