Their fourth-quarter play also played a role. Recently NFL analyst Warren...
The NFL Draft has not been too kind to the Las Vegas Raiders in recent history, with the last 20 years or so littered with first-round busts. However, no team gets to the level of success the Raiders have enjoyed without some luck in the draft.
