They say you can never judge a draft until at least Year 3 or Year 4. The 2018 draft class for the Raiders is now going into Year 5 and we have a pretty good idea as to how to grade that class.
The first draft during the second Jon Gruden era with the Raiders was certainly an interesting one. They traded down from No. 10 to pick Kolton Miller, a developmental offensive tackle from UCLA. That pick worked out as he’s now one of the best pass-protecting offensive tackles in the NFL.
But what about the rest of the class? If you don’t remember, the Raiders selected P.J. Hall, Brandon Parker and Arden Key on Day 2. They were able to get solid production from Maurice Hurst on Day 3, but that was the about it.
