If you think about it, the Las Vegas Raiders and San Francisco 49ers had pretty similar first rounds.
For starters, both teams possessed two first-round picks. Both teams chose a wide receiver and a defensive player, albeit in reverse order of each other. Both teams surprised their fan bases to a certain extent with their respective selections.
Yet interestingly, both picks were very emblematic of their coaching staffs and front offices.
The Raiders, led by Jon Gruden on the field and Mike Mayock in the front office, have essentially abandoned conventional NFL wisdom in favor of blazing their own path, selecting players they believe have the makeup adequate to their specific style of play.
