These guys are all undrafted free agents that have talent and will have the opportunity to prove themselves at a position of need on the Raiders. There are no guarantees that these guys will make the 53 man roster but they'll have a shot.
Every year several college juniors and seniors leave school with the desire to be drafted and play in the NFL. After promising college careers, several play in college all-star games and are even invited to the NFL draft combine.
Some of these guys still go undrafted, even with immense talent. There are no guarantees that if you're invited to the NFL combine or play at a FBS school you will be drafted.
The Oakland Raiders had several needs going into free agency that the draft didn't completely address. Contrary to popular belief, some of these needs were addressed with the team signing several undrafted players.
Some have the belief that when an undrafted free agent is brought in he is just there as training camp competition and has no chance of making the roster. That belief will be put to the challenge during Oakland's training camp.
