The Las Vegas Raiders held picks 12 and 19 in the most recent NFL draft and while I think speculation and consideration about a trade up into the top-10 made sense, Mike Mayock held firm in his positions and selected Henry Ruggs and Damon Arnette. What is the difference between picking 12th and picking seventh anyway?
In truth, it might not be that much.
Among those picked seventh in this century are Adrian Peterson, Joe Haden, and Mike Evans. But players picked 12th include Marshawn Lynch, Deshaun Watson, Odell Beckham, and Halogi Ngata.
