Heading into the 2019 NFL Draft, the Oakland Raiders knew they needed to do something big in order to turn the franchise around. Being arguably the most important draft class in franchise history, due to the fact they held three first round draft picks, nobody really knew what to expect from them on Draft day.
Remember, general manager Mike Mayock was brand new in the role, having never been a GM before. There were also rumors that the franchise was done with Derek Carr, and that they would package some of their draft picks to move up in the first round, possibly selecting Kyler Murray from Oklahoma.
