General manager Mike Mayock brought in a solid haul during the 2019 NFL Draft class, but after the 2019 season, this is what a re-draft could look like.
The Oakland Raiders had a great rookie class in 2019, but looking back, they could have done even better. A year later, we re-draft the Raiders 2019 rookie class, before shifting our focus to the 2020 NFL Draft.
Mike Mayock did an incredible job in his first NFL draft, taking players such as Josh Jacobs, Maxx Crosby, and Johnathan Abram. The Raiders arguably had the best rookie class in the NFL last year, and the crazy thing is, it could have been even better.
Anything could be improved when looking at it in hindsight, and there is no argument that Mayock and Gruden did even better than most would have expected in 2019. Jacobs and Crosby were Rookie of the Year candidates, and the team really got production from nearly every pick they selected.
Let’s take a look at what they could have done better in this 2019 NFL re-draft.
