After grading the disappointing 2020 draft class of the Las Vegas Raiders, it is time to evaluate the performances of the 2019 class, which seemed like quite a haul after the 2019 season. The class was the most productive of any team in 2019, leading the NFL in scrimmage yards, touchdowns, and sacks among rookies.

Detractors may argue the production was due to the team lacking talent, therefore, starting more rookies, but it is impressive nonetheless. Josh Jacobs should have won the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year award in 2019, and Maxx Crosby really came out of nowhere to become one of the top young sack-masters in the NFL.

The Raiders had a lot of ammo to work with a whomping three picks in the first round, as well as three picks in the fourth round. With nine picks total, some were highly-questionable selections, but there were also some gems.

Let us go over who is who.
