Not since the 2014 draft have the Oakland Raiders gotten much from their draft classes. They are built around edge-rusher Khalil Mack (Round 1) and quarterback Derek Carr (Round 2), of 2014 NFL Draft class. From there, they drafted guard Gabe Jackson in Round 3 that year.
Since then the only stand out as been Amari Cooper in Round 1 in 2015. So the offensive personnel is solid, giving once-again head coach Jon Gruden something to look forward to.
The Raiders have drafted a lot of defensive talent to put around Mack the last few years, but the defense has yet to enjoy even a year of the success the way the offense did in 2016.
