Now that the 2017 NFL Draft is in the books, teams will shift their focus to the upcoming organized team activities. For many undrafted free agents and tryout players, this is a golden opportunity at earning a roster spot. Oakland Raiders General ManagerReggie McKenzie did an excellent job last season by nabbing two undrafted players who were key contributors to the 2016 roster — running back Jalen Richard and defensive tackle Darius Latham.
Another player from that 2016 UDFA class that could be ready to make the jump from practice squad to 53-man roster is wide receiver Jaydon Mickens.
