We continue to traverse through the draft, picking out the best players taken in given rounds. We started with the top 5 picks taken in the top 15, then the best player in the bottom of the first, and the best player in the second round. Now we continue to the third round.
The Raiders didn’t have a pick in the third round of this year’s draft. They traded it along with a 5th round pick to acquire Antonio Brown. I’d say that’s pretty good value for a third round pick. Especially if you consider the Raiders haven’t gotten a lot of value from the round of late.
