I really need to know if there are any raptors(members of the dromaeosauridae) in the Jurassic period.

Dromaeosaurids have been found in North America, Europe, North Africa, Japan, China, Mongolia, Madagascar and Argentina. They first appeared in the Mid-Jurassic period (Bathonian stage, 167 million years ago) and survived until the end of the Cretaceous (Maastrichtian stage, 65.5 ma), existing for over 100 million years, up until the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event. Jurassic dromaeosaurs are known primarily from teeth.

No the main predator during the Jurassic period was the Allosaurus. The T-Rex and Raptors came much later.
