The Raiders made no trades up or down, preferring to stick at their original draft spots for their eight selections.
While they went all offense on days one and two, they went almost all defense on Day three. According to Tom Telesco, that wasn’t intentional, but just how the day played out.
What was intentional was getting guys who could play on special teams because that will be many of the late round guys’ ticket to making the team.
The one glaring need position they did not address was quarterback. Telesco said they were thinking about adding a QB on day one, but after the top six guys went before they picked at 13, they didn’t consider taking one the rest of the draft.
