Raiders: Rookie report card three-quarters into the 2019 season
By Nico Di Fede
Now three-quarters through the 2019 NFL season, the Oakland Raiders rookies have played major roles on both sides of the ball. Let’s go over their performances these last four games.
After three disappointing games in a row (despite winning against the Cincinnati Bengals) the Oakland Raiders are three quarters through the 2019 NFL season.
The Raiders are still officially in the playoff hunt, though at this point it is highly unlikely they make it, especially based on how they have been playing as of late.
While there is a lot of negativity surrounding the team following two blowout losses, there are still plenty of bright spots to find positivity from, and most of those bright spots are from this 2019 rookie class.
These third quarter grades will be based solely on the past four games, and not their seasons overall which will be graded at the end of the season.
With that being said, let’s get into it.
