Over at SB Nation, we conducted a re-draft of the 2017 NFL draft this week.
I selected receiver Mike Williams. We must continue the Raiders-Clemson connection, right? Williams was the No. 7 pick by the Chargers in 2017.
The Raiders’ actual pick at No. 24 was cornerback Gareon Conley out of Ohio State. They traded him to Houston for a third-round pick last October because he never fit well in the scheme of the Raiders’ coaching staff that took over in his second season.
Conley was not selected in the first round of our re-draft.
