One of the myriad factors a National Football League team’s general manager is judged by is his success stocking the roster through the NFL Draft. Oakland Raiders General Manager Reggie McKenzie is getting ready to guide the Silver and Black through his fifth Draft.
Not every general manager is going to hit on every draft pick, but the trick is to get more right than wrong and to know when a mistake has been made and move on. The Raiders’ last two draft hauls have arguably been two of the best in the NFL, as the team has acquired a history-making All-Pro defender, a franchise quarterback and a game-breaking wide receiver.
