We previously looked at how the Las Vegas Raiders may be able to find a way back into the first round in next week’s NFL draft.
Admittedly, it wouldn’t be easy and it would cost a lot. The price tag would likely involve Las Vegas’s top pick (No. 86 in the third round) and probably next year’s first-round pick if the team wants to stay away from dealing players on the current roster.
So, after making the trade with Green Bay to send No. 22 in the first round and No. 53 in the second for All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams last month, it is likely the Raiders will sit out the first day of the draft, which will be held in their hometown of Las Vegas, April 28-30.
