The Oakland Raiders did an excellent job in the 2014 NFL Draft. With this mock draft, they could not only repeat their success, but also fight for a playoff position as well.
Sure the Oakland Raiders are still in the cellar of the AFC West, but there’s a really good chance they’re going to be a legitimate playoff team in just a few years time. Their quarterback is in play with Derek Carr, they’re starting to draft correctly, Khalil Mack really has the potential of a stud pass-rusher, and their defense, in total, is one of the best young units in all of football.

In my opinion, 2015 won’t be the year where the Raiders compete for a playoff spot. 2016 is the year where I believe pundits could start mocking this team as a playoff team. In the 2014 NFL Draft, the Raiders brought in foundational players in Carr, Mack,
