The Las Vegas Raiders didn’t wait long to get involved in the second round of the NFL Draft. The Raiders came into the night with the 38th pick overall, seventh of round two, but sent that selection along with 141 overall, per The Athletic’s Tashan Reed, to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for No. 35 overall. They then took Notre Dame tight end, Michael Mayer.
Mayer played three seasons for the Fighting Irish, accumulating 180 catches for 2,099 yards and 18 touchdowns in his career. Notre Dame has a long history of successful tight ends and he set school records with his receiving yards and receptions totals.
