The following is a look at the progress of the Oakland Raiders rookies as we reach the bye week:
ROUND 1
WR Amari Cooper: He is the crown jewel of the Raiders’ class and one of the top rookies in the NFL. The No. 4 overall pick has been the Raiders’ best receiving threat in years. He had back-to-back 100-yard receiving games in Weeks 2 and 3. Cooper is Derek Carr’s favorite target, and he is just getting started.
ROUND 2
DE Mario Edwards: Edwards, a Florida State product, made his biggest impact of the season in Week 5, playing 50 snaps after not seeing much time in the weeks before.
