Two writers at ORDW have some rankings for you Raider fans:
Quick note...these are lists of players the combine absolute bests (top 3 for instance) and those that would be good or Oakland in high Round 3 and Round 4. The Raiders do not own a 2nd Round pick (as of right now), so basically we're listing players that Oakland could draft...given the current pick slots. You can also blend in the writers' opinion on what position a prospect will be playing in the NFL.
