Oakland Raiders: Kolton Miller was always the pick in 2018

During the 2018 NFL Draft, when the Raiders made Kolton Miller the No. 15 overall pick in the first round, fans thought it was a bit of a reach. Even though Mel Kiper Jr. had predicted the Patriots would take him with the 23rd pick, making him a clear first rounder, to pick him eight slots earlier was a bit of a head-scratcher for many experts, and fans.

Some people even mocked the pick, claiming a coin toss was the reason as to why the Raiders ended up with Miller, over the offensive tackle they really wanted, San Francisco’s right tackle Mike McGlinchey.
