The Oakland Raiders are over a quarter of the way through the season, and as their success continues to increase, their draft picks go higher, as well.

Heading into the 2019 NFL season, there were not too many experts who predicted the Oakland Raiders would make any noise in the AFC. In fact, based on the fact that they had the toughest schedule in the league, it looked like another season where Jon Gruden would try to figure out who his key guys would be heading into Las Vegas.

The Raiders originally were projected to draft in the top ten, but now they are looking to draft around the early twenties. The Bears are in a similar situation, standing at 3-2, meaning their pick is projected to be in the early twenties, as well.

There is a lot of football left to the 2019 NFL season, but as it looks, the Raiders could be an actual playoff contender. While they have been much better on both sides of the ball, there is still a lot of work to be done with the roster, and they can certainly bolster it with their two first round picks next April.
