ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Raiders had a quiet first day of the NFL draft with no pick in the first round.
New general manager Reggie McKenzie did not trade into the first round Thursday and will have to wait another day to make the team’s first pick since the death of longtime owner Al Davis.
The Raiders traded their first-round pick and a conditional 2013 second-rounder to Cincinnati in October for quarterback Carson Palmer. The Bengals drafted Alabama cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick with Oakland’s 17th overall pick.
The Raiders have just five picks in the draft. The first one comes at the end of Friday’s third round at 95th overall. That is one of three compensatory picks Oakland received for losing free agents last summer.
