The now-Las Vegas Raiders have had a wealth of star power over the franchise's six-plus decades. From their beginnings in Oakland to their move to Los Angeles in 1982 to their move back to Oakland in 1995, the Raiders have simply found ways to bring in tremendous talent through the draft.

However, even with the countless stars in the team's history, some picks stand out from the rest and therefore, make their way on to this list.

5. Howie Long

Playing at a middling FCS school in Villanova that was on the verge of shutting down, it makes sense that Howie Long wasn't a top prospect in the 1981 draft. Still, the 6-foot-5, 268-pound defensive end was selected in the second round with the 48th overall pick by the Raiders.

Long would play all 13 of his seasons with the Raiders and was an absolute menace off the edge while anchoring the team's defense in the 80s and early 90s.

The second-round pick managed to record double-digit sacks in three of his first five seasons and made eight Pro Bowls during his Hall of Fame career.

4. Tim Brown

The best wide receiver in Raiders history was selected sixth overall in the 1986 draft. And in 16 seasons with the team, he was consistently a top receiver in the league.

Already a dangerous punt returner, Brown didn't truly break out as a receiver until his first 1,000-yard season in 1993. Brown would reel off eight-straight more 1,000 seasons after that. And would finish his career with nine Pro Bowls and 14,734 receiving yards and 104 total touchdowns in a Raiders uniform

3. Ken Stabler

The only player on this list to win league MVP, Stabler dominated in an era where QB's didn't really put up the big statistical numbers that we see today. A star at the University of Alabama, Stabler was selected in the second round (52nd overall) of the 1968 draft.

“The Snake” led the NFL in passing touchdowns twice (1974 and 1976). And in his MVP season (1974), he completed 57.4 percent of his passes for 2,469 yards, 26 touchdowns and 12 interceptions while leading the Raiders to a league-best 12-2 record.

2. Gene Upshaw

At 6-foot-5 and 255 pounds, Gene Upshaw would be much too small to be an offensive lineman in today's NFL. However, in the 60's and 70's, Upshaw was an absolute menace in the trenches.

Upshaw was drafted 17th overall by the Raiders in 1967 and throughout his career, made seven Pro Bowls, five All-Pro teams and won two Super Bowls all while helping block for fellow stars like Stabler and Marv Hubbard.

1. Charles Woodson

Arguably the best defensive player in Raiders history, the Raiders knew Woodson would be a star when they drafted him fourth overall in the 1998 NFL draft. At Michigan, Woodson became the first and only (primarily) defensive player to win the Heisman Trophy and he carried that impact with him to the NFL.

While Woodson only played 11 of his 18 seasons with Oakland, his impact on the team and the game as a whole shouldn't be diminished. Woodson was an All-Pro by only his second season, was named the 2009 Defensive Player of the Year.

His 65 career interceptions rank fifth-highest in NFL history. And the sheer longevity of his career and ability to perform at a high level later in his career give him this spot above others.
