Bleacher Report looked at players from every NFL team to see who could be a surprise starter.
The Raiders’ selection was a real surprise — rookie guard John Simpson. The Raiders traded up in the fourth round to take the All-American from Clemson.
The Raiders love Simpson and think he will be a long-term starter. A lot of scouts think he is a great fit for Jon Gruden’s system as well.
Still, it would be a huge surprise, at this point, if Simpson is a starter this season other than because of an injury.
