2019 NFL Draft grades: How Raiders turned heads at top of first round

The Raiders turned heads with their first and last picks in the 2019 NFL Draft.

The Silver and Black selected former Clemson edge rusher Clelin Ferrell -- who they say they rated just as highly as No. 2 pick Nick Bosa -- No. 4 overall, with defensive players like Josh Allen and Ed Oliver still on the board. Then, with their ninth selection, Oakland drafted another defensive end: Prairie View A&M's Quinton Bell. The seventh round of a draft is littered with guys few outside of a scouting department have heard of, but Bell managed to be obscure enough that Mayock's old colleagues at NFL Network didn't have tape on him for their draft show.
