The Oakland Raiders had a ton of needs going into the 2019 NFL Draft, and holding three first round picks, they had plenty of options to fill those needs. While many people thought they would take all defensive players in round one, there was speculation they could take a tight end as well.
However, when it came time for the Raiders to make their second first round pick, the selection they got from trading Amari Cooper to the Dallas Cowboys, they decided to bring in a running back. Many were shocked when the Raiders took Josh Jacobs in the first round, but he was the best player at his position group in the draft class.
