As this long winded process has unfolded, opinions on how each team should make use of their draft capital have changed time and time again. Today we bring you Golden Gate Sports’ final seven round mock draft for the Oakland Raiders.
Notice the word we? I am not here along today to give this mock draft. I am joined by fellow site expert, Kevin Saito to give our selections for each of the team’s 11 draft picks.
While we may not agree on the direction the team should go with every pick, there is one thing we surely do see eye to eye on. This is the fact that this is a huge draft for the Oakland Raiders and If handled correctly, can make them a great team in the 2018 season. If handled poorly, this draft can set the team back further than they already are.
If the team elects to go a route similar to either one outlines by myself or Kevin, they have a good chance to be in a great position come the start of the season.
Enough deliberating, let’s see the picks.
