For the third time in a few days, the Raiders added a draft pick to their 2021 total. This one is added on appeal. They set their sixth pick for repeat offenses of COVID-19 during the season. They appealed against the ruling and the NFL announced today that they had won the appeal.
The choice they got back was 200, but because the Patriots picked a third round, the choice is actually the 199th choice. The returned choice brings their total to 8 choices in this draft. Here’s what their draft order now looks like:
Round 1, choose number 17
Round 2, Pick No. 48
Round 3, dial number 79 (via ARI *)
Round 3, choose number 80
Round 4, Pick 121
Round 5, dial 162 (via MIA **)
Round 5, choose no. 167 (via SEA ***
Round 6, Pick 199
