Which Oakland Raiders players’ jobs are hanging in the balance after their activity in the 2019 NFL Draft? We take a look at three.

Pretty soon, the Oakland Raiders are going to be the most dramatic before and after picture you’ve ever seen.

Oakland has re-shaped it’s roster drastically over the past year, and after three top 40 selections in the 2019 NFL Draft, there will be a new era of Raiders football taking shape.

As is the case with every draft class, there are sure to be casualties on the roster. There’s nothing wrong with having some key depth at certain positions, but draft hierarchy is going to put some guys out of a job and perhaps land them on other rosters in the league.

The Raiders took three players in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft, but some of those guys were brought in to fill specific holes the team already had.

Some of those picks and some of their other draft picks are going to flat out take jobs this offseason, and there are a few players who specifically need to be watching their backs.
