Five draft night trades the Las Vegas Raiders could make
By Nick Ellis
The Raiders are a team that is known for taking risks when it comes to draft night, so let’s take a look at some potential trades.
The 2020 NFL Draft is a few months away, and in a week, we will see the 2019 NFL season come to an end. The San Francisco 49ers will take on the Kansas City Chiefs in a nightmare matchup for Raiders fans, as it is a battle between their Bay Area rival and one of their more hated divisional rivals.
After that game ends, it will be all draft talk until April, where the Raiders will look to make another big statement in Year 2 of Mike Mayock as the general manager. Last year, Mayock did a wonderful job not only adding quality players via the draft, but using his draft expertise to add starters as undrafted rookie free agents.
The Raiders have two first-round picks, three third rounds picks, a fourth-round pick, and a seventh-round pick to play with in this draft, so there is a good chance they will be moving around a bit. If the Raiders want to make a move, they have plenty of capital to do so with.
Will they move up into the second round, trade away a first rounder, who knows, but here are some potential trades that we could see come draft night.
