The Raiders rehearsed and rehearsed and then rehearsed some more heading into this virtual NFL draft, where general manager Mike Mayock, head coach Jon Gruden and their staff worked remotely while spread across the country.
They didn’t want any hiccups due to technology or miscommunication, or failing to capitalize on a trade presented to them to make picks without issue.
Mayock and head coach/final decision maker Jon Gruden were able to make picks without incident, selecting Alabama receiver Henry Ruggs III at No. 12 overall and Ohio State cornerback Damon Arnette at 19.
