Oakland Raiders: Post-Combine 7-Round 2019 mock draft

Following the NFL Scouting Combine, let’s take a look at how the 2019 NFL Draft may take shape for the Oakland Raiders in Nashville.

Oakland Raiders brass took a look at the collegiate tapes, interviewed and watched prospects go through workouts at the NFL Scouting Combine. Now what? Coaches and executives rearrange their big boards in preparation for April 25. Some prospects are removed and others likely caused talent evaluators to go back to the film for a second look. Perhaps a disappointing interview or a strong workout changed a few minds.

As we all know, draft projections become clear in the weeks leading up to decision day—and even then—we’re in for a handful of surprises. Free agency will also change team needs.

For now, let’s take a look at what the Raiders roster looks like as of March 6th. This post-combine mock draft takes position needs, film study and workout numbers into account.

It’s important to note this mock draft doesn’t just pick the best possible names out of thin air. The selections are made as part of a real-time simulation provided by The Draft Network. At times, the “perfect prospect” came off the board before the Raiders would’ve stepped to the podium for their choice.

There’s a full explanation for each of the 10 draft picks. Some choices are based on past tendencies and projected coaching preferences while others provide the most logical fit.

As the most influential voice in the war room, what’s the verdict on one of the most important draft classes in Raiders’ history?
