There wasn’t a lot of significant information relayed at the Raiders pre-draft press conference briefing Friday, but it was notable that coach Jack Del Rio was front and center along with general manager Reggie McKenzie.
In previous sessions, McKenzie went at it alone, with coach Dennis Allen staying in the background until after selections were made on draft day.
When Del Rio received the first question about his level of involvement in the draft process, McKenzie immediately interjected with a laugh, “Can you get him out of my office?”
Del Rio said he was appreciative of McKenzie being “inclusive” in the evaluation process when it came to getting input from coaches as well as scouts.
