The Las Vegas Raiders have made their first-round selection. Dave Ziegler and company decided to sit tight and wait at seven instead of aggressively moving up for a trade. The patience paid off, landing blue-chip prospect Tyree Wilson from Texas Tech.
Wilson was expected to be a top-five pick in the draft, with many pundits having him over Will Andersen. Many mock drafts had the edge rusher going second to the Texans before the draft started. The Raiders were able to pick him up at the seven-slot, which is excellent value for Wilson.
