On April 27th, the Oakland Raiders will be making the 24th overall selection in the 2017 NFL Draft — barring any trades, of course. The last time they made a selection in this same ballpark was in 2005, although that was after a trade down. The actual last time the Raiders had their own pick this late in the first round was in 2003, with Nnamdi Asomugha being the selection.
Reggie McKenzie will be hoping to continue his run of successful first-round picks. Well, three out of his four first round selections have been on the money. We won’t mention the fourth.
