After standing pat through the first five rounds, the Raiders have made their first trade. They trade their 6th round pick at 208 to the Cardinals for their 7th round picks at 221 and 231. The Raiders will now have four picks in the final round.
Revised picks remaining:
Round 7, pick 221
Round 7, pick 231
Round 7, pick 242
Round 7, pick 244
Raiders 2017 Draft picks
Round 1: Gareon Conley, CB, Ohio State
Round 2: Obi Melifonwu, S, Connecticut
Round 3: Eddie Vanderdoes, DT, UCLA
Round 4: David Sharpe, OT, Florida
Round 5: Marquel Lee, LB, Wake Forest
Raiders remaining needs:
DT, RB, S
In the 7th round, teams don’t usually pay all that much attention to filling needs. Just find some sleepers and special teamers and hope at least one of them pans out.
The Raiders grabbed Vadal Alexander in the 7th round last year. Alexander was projected as a day two pick initially, so he was worth a chance in the 7th round. Cornerback TJ Carrie was also a Raiders round seven selection in 2014.
