Just two players from the 2018 draft listed as starters

The Raiders drafted nine players in the 2018 draft, and one year later, only two are listed as starters. Former first round pick Kolton Miller will be starting at left tackle, and punter Johnny Townsend is given the nod, for now.

Arden Key and Maurice Hurst were given a ton of playing time in 2018, and will still be on the field just as often in 2019. Even though they are not listed as starters they will be in the rotation almost as much as if they were starting. The same goes for defensive tackle PJ Hall.

Outside of these players, the 2018 draft class will not appear to be in the plans of the Raiders, for now. Nick Nelson is listed behind Gareon Conley, as expected, most Raiders fans hope that Brandon Parker is not seen on the field much, and Marcell Ateman is probably the sixth best receiver on the roster, at best.
