The Raiders made huge moves in the 2019 NFL Draft, with nine selections; a third of them coming in the first round. Their first round selections included pass rusher Clelin Ferrell, running back Josh Jacobs, and safety Jonathan Abram. Ferrell and Jacobs will likely start from day one, with Abram and second round pick Trayvon Mullen starting the season as rotational players in the secondary. The Raiders selected another Clemson player, Hunter Renfrow in the fifth round, who has a great shot to open the season as the starting slot receiver.
However, their best quality selection may have been their quick decision to sign UDFA Te’Von Coney from Notre Dame.
