Raiders trade up in in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft"The Oakland Raiders packaged picks 158 and 218 to move up to 149 overall. Sending a seventh round pick to move up nine picks in the fifth round to grab Clemson receiver Hunter Renfrow. Renfrow is the third Clemson Tiger selected by Mike Mayock and is yet another high-character guy who had success at the collegiate level. At 5’10” and 184 pounds Jim Otto Jersey , Renfrow is going to likely start in the slot for Oakland.With a 4.59 second 40-yard dash, Renfrow is not a speed demon, but he wins with his clean footwork and harsh breaks. He excels at finding soft spots in the defense and never gives up on plays, constantly looking back to work towards the quarterback when extending plays. He may not be the biggest receiver on the field, but with two national championship games under his belt, Renfrow has shown that he has a penchant for performing in big games. Coach Jon Gruden will love Renfrow’s work ethic and sure hands, and will enjoy drawing up plays for the sneaky slot receiver.

In addition to that, Jon Gruden continues to make strange comments through the media.Last week in an interview with Raider legend, Howie Long, Gruden said, “And to have salary-cap space and to have a chance to talk to the people that you really want to wear the silver and black, the guys you really want to wear the silver and black and represent this team, that’s exciting.”I can’t imagine those comments went over well with his current players.Looking at the remaining games on the schedule it is possible the Raiders do not win another game.The number one pick in the draft is looking more and more like a certainty.Offensive and defensive ranks After eight games the Raiders rank 21st in total offense.Derek Carr’s 258.8 yards passing a game ranks 15th, and the run game is averaging 95 yards a game. (24th)Points have not been easy to come by in the second quarter, with the exception of the Colts game in week eight the Raiders have scored 10, 3, and 3 points.On the season the offense averages 17.6 points per game, which tops only Buffalo, Arizona, Tennessee, and Jacksonville.That is the good news.Defensively the Raiders rank 24th in total defense.27th against the pass (407 yds/game), and last in the league against the run (144.5 yds/game).The defense surrenders a healthy 31.5 points a game, 31st in the league.This is not a recipe for success.The biggest disappointment thus far has been on defense.Considering the additions of Rashaan Melvin, Daryl Worley, three promising rookie defensive lineman, and more importantly a competent defensive coordinator.Things were not suppose to be this bad.Melvin has been benched, Worley has shown some signs of being a decent starting cornerback, and the rookies are starting to hit the rookie wall.Combine that with the leagues worst pass rush, poor linebacker play, and even worse play from the safeties and you find yourself with a 1-7 record.Lowlights of the second quarterThe last time this article was written this section was titled “highlight of the first quarter.”But as hard as it is to believe, there hasn’t been any highlights.So let’s look back at some of the memorable or better yet forgettable plays from the second quarter of the season.Derek Carr throws interception on the one yard line vs Chargers Doug Martin fumble in the fourth quarter vs ColtsRaheem Mostert gashes the Raiders defense for a 52-yard touchdownWhat to expect in the next fourIf the Raiders have any chance to win another game it has to be week 11 against the Arizona Cardinals.You certainly can’t expect wins vs the Chargers, Chiefs, or the Ravens.Even a win versus the Cardinals seems like a long shot, keep in mind they did beat the 49ers who just destroyed the Raiders.The week 11 match up with the Cardinals will be the “Bosa Bowl II”, if the Raiders should lose this game then they may as well be “put on the clock” with the first pick in the 2019 draft.
