Raiders mock drafts: Analysts focus on defense, and most of them like the same player

The 2017-18 season was a letdown for the Raiders.

After going 12-4 the previous season and reaching the playoffs for the first time in 14 years, Oakland had Super Bowl aspirations. Instead, what the Raiders produced was a 6-10 record that tied them with their Bay Area neighbors.

Now that the Raiders have brought Jon Gruden back as coach, how will they complement a roster that boasts a handful of All-Pro players, including quarterback Derek Carr and defensive end Khalil Mack? That will be seen during the NFL draft, which kicks off April 26 at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys.
