Day one is in the books in the most anticipated draft for the Raiders perhaps ever. At the start of the day, they had picks at 4, 24, and 27 and that’s exactly what they had at the end of the day. Despite Mike Mayock talking a lot about the possibility of moving around with trades, the Raiders stayed put and made their picks.
At 4 overall, they grabbed Clemson pass rusher Clelin Ferrell. At 24 overall it was Alabama running back Josh Jacobs. And finally, at 27, they got Mississippi State safety Johnathan Abram.
