Oakland Raiders: Updated starters after 2019 NFL Draft

With the 2019 NFL Draft in the rearview mirror, let us take a look at a very early updated starting lineup for the 2019 Oakland Raiders.

The Oakland Raiders have been very active since the start of the 2019 NFL league year, bringing in quality players on both sides of the ball. During Jon Gruden’s first season back on the sidelines as the head coach of the Silver and Black, the team went 4-12, as they suffered through one of the worst seasons in team history.

Looking ahead, those four-win seasons should be long gone, as they have added the kind of talent that could make them a sleeper to get to the playoffs this upcoming season. They have reached the playoffs only once since 2002, though the team lost in the Wild Card round due to the fact they had Connor Cook starting at quarterback over the injured Derek Carr.

Staying with Carr, the thought by the media all offseason had been that the Raiders would replace him via the NFL Draft this past week, but Oakland passed on a quarterback in the first round, and every other round after that. They added potential starters during the draft, and the depth chart looks completely different than it did when the Raiders finished the 2018 season five months ago.

Here is our early look at the projected starters for the Oakland Raiders in 2019.
