The Call: The Moment Nine Rookies Were Drafted

Receiving a call on Draft Day is a feeling few players get to experience.

Thursday, the 2018 NFL Draft kicked off, and by the three-day event's end, the Oakland Raiders had added nine new players. General Manager Reggie McKenzie and Head Coach Jon Gruden have completely revamped the Raiders roster, and the two were adamant about going out and drafting the players on their wish list.

After each selection, McKenzie and Gruden called all of the draftees to express their excitement, and welcome them to the Silver and Black.
