With eight teams currently po se sion multiple first-round picks in the 2022 NFL Draft, eight teams have found themselves out of a pick in the top 32. The Bears, Broncos, Browns, Dolphins, Raiders, Rams, 49ers, and Colts all don't have first-round picks this year, as they traded them in either previous drafts or this offseason.The Raiders are one of the more intriguing teams mi sing Nick Perry Jersey their first-round pick, as they opted to lock down a sure thing instead of looking in the draft. The Raiders picking a wide receiver at No. 22 felt like a done deal, but they went a different direction?IYER:The Green Bay Packers will be picking in the No. 22 spot this year. They traded with the Raiders directly to secure the pick.Raiders GM Dave Ziegler traded Vegas' first and Marquez Valdes-Scantling Jersey second round picks this year to the Packers for wide receiver Davante Adams. In addition, the Raiders extended Adams five years for $140 million with $65,670,000 guaranteed Jonathan Garvin Jersey . Adams joins fellow Fresno State alum and his own former quarterback Derek Carr on the Raiders offense, which was No. 11 in the NFL last year (incidentally one spot behind the Packers).The Raiders were presented with a choice: Go for a cheap wide receiver or go all-in a potential franchise player in Adams. They opted for the latter. While Hunter Renfrow had over 1,000 years last year for the Raiders, he did it on just 10.1 yards per reception.

As the Broncos Emanuel Wilson Jersey add Ru sell Wilson, the Chargers add Khalil Mack, and the Chiefs continue to exist, the Raiders needed to make a move. It's hard Deslin Alexandre Jersey to imagine a situation in which the Raiders don't take a receiver on the board at No. 22, so acquiring Adams was taking the chance out of the draft.New head coach Josh McDaniels will be trying to inject some consistency into the Raiders offense, and he has the pedigree to do so. Adding Adams undoubtedly makes his job easier.
