With the 2019 NFL Draft only a few days away, it is always nice to take a trip down memory lane and think about some of the better draft hauls in Oakland Raiders history.

Doug Farrar put together a nice piece showing the greatest draft steal in the history of all 32 NFL teams recently, and it was certainly an interesting read. For the Raiders, the choice was Rod Martin, who the Raiders selected in the 12th round of the 1977 draft.
