A more accurate depiction of raptors would have them with feathers, they'd basically look more like large birds, but with normal jaws and teeth instead of beaks.
Also many of the classical depictions, also known as skin wrapped or shrink-wrapped aren't really great because they don't attempt to depict the animal how they were by reconstructing they just draw skin over the structure of the bones, which is [very wrong](https://www buzzfeednews.com/article/natashaumer/dinosaur-animals) living things have cartilage and structure in their bodies that aren't bone so we constructing from bone requires imagining and attempting to recreate that structure while using the bone structure as a starting point.
A PBS show mentioned they might also have had lip-like beaks.
Prehistoric Planet has some nice depictions.
And look at those baby velociraptors!
