The Las Vegas Raiders’ new general manager Dave Ziegler has done well during his first few months on the job. The Raiders and Ziegler were widely considered big winners during free agency as they were able to trade for Davante Adams, sign Chandler Jones and extend in-house Pro Bowlers Maxx Crosby and Derek Carr.
However, NFL general managers aren’t just judged by free agency and one could argue that the great ones are the ones who can crush it during the NFL Draft.
Ziegler will get a chance to prove his mettle in less than a week, but the rookie GM will be starting behind the eightball as the Adams trade cost him the team’s first two draft picks.
