A quick glance at the 2019 NFL draft order suggests the Oakland Raiders are about to do some serious work in the first round.
The Raiders have three first-round picks -- the fourth overall selection, the 24th overall selection, and the 27th overall selection
They have the fourth pick because they authored a stinky 4-12 record in 2018. They’ve also got the 24th pick because they traded pass-rusher Khalil Mack to the Chicago Bears. And they’ve got the 27th pick because they traded receiver Amari Cooper to the Dallas Cowboys.
People within the Raiders organization are excited about the opportunity they have to remake their team in this and future drafts because they also got a first-round pick for Mack in the 2020 draft.
