2. Trading Down for More Picks

The Raiders have five picks in the top-100 selections, but no second-round picks because of the controversial Khalil Mack trade. There is a right amount of depth in this draft, and they could be missing out on crucial players without that pick. Trading down is a dream scenario.

Trading down seems easy on a mock draft simulator. In real life, the Raiders need a suitor who is willing to trade up and offer them picks for a particular player. The Raiders have to see a great player fall to them that might not be high on their boards and bait a team to trade up.

Easier said than done, but it would help the Raiders add pieces to the roster.
