After using their third round pick somewhat surprisingly on University of Miami tight end Clive Walford – giving them two pass-catchers selected in the first three rounds – the Raiders moved to address the offensive line in the 4th round by selecting his teammate, Jon Feliciano.

Feliciano was the second Miami Hurricane taken in a row by the Raiders, and the third ACC player in a row. The Raiders would add another ACC product in the 6th round (Virginia’s Max Valles) as well as two Florida Gators in linebacker Neiron Ball and receiver/returner Andre Debose.

The Raider coaching staff – which includes former Miami assistant Jethro Franklin and former Florida State assistant Sal Sunseri – was obviously heavily influential in these selections. Franklin was an important recruiter at Miami, and likely took runs at both Debose and Ball coming out of high school. Florida played against Miami once and Florida State (where Sunseri was the DE’s coach) last season, meaning each coach had seen them on the field as well.

These selections also showed that former Raider player Zack Crockett – who is the Raiders’ southeast area scout – has some major weight in the scouting department, as he likely did the principal scouting of seven of the Raiders’ ten draft selections. Here is what Crockett probably saw in Jon Feliciano:
