NFL power rankings: preseason Week 3

AFC West. Last week: 27. Oakland Raiders. 26. player. 28. <p>Amari Cooper surely looked the part of the Julio Jones replica the Raiders drafted him to be when he breezed by Terence Newman for a 40-yard reception on Friday night. If I’m a Raiders fan, I’m feeling really good about my team’s use of the fourth overall pick in this spring’s draft.</p> <p>And Derek Carr is also instilling a bunch of excitement in a Raiders fan base that is pining for a long-term quarterback. The sophomore showed great leadership when he berated Seth Roberts for dropping a perfect pass on third down. Carr’s reaction to the play reminded me of a Tom Brady anger outburst.</p>
