One of the great mysteries of the league is over, as the Raiders have finally signed their fifth-round pick.

Wide receiver Juron Criner agreed to his four-year deal Sunday, the team announced. He was the last player drafted in the third day of the draft to reach a deal.

The only two remaining unsigned rookies are first-rounders Justin Blackmon of the Jaguars and Kendall Wright of the Titans.

The Raiders signed third-rounder Tony Bergstrom Friday. That’s later than most, but the Raiders are reporting today and practicing for the first time Monday, the final team to get into camp.

    1.heyward bey 2. Criner 3. Moore 4.ford 5.streater hes going to have a nice year, hes what we need as a big tall sure hands reciever. This dude would have been a late 1st rounder but his 40 time hurt him in the draft. 3years in a row another steal late in the draft.

    Would actually rate the WRs

    1) Moore (Little Tim Brown)
    2) DHB
    3) Ford (soild slot receiver)
    4) Criner
    5) Streeter
    6) TBD.. McGee, Calhoun, etc

    Yeah tough to call the order at WR. Lots of competition. Drafting gold at that position last few years. Its gonna be an exciting year in Raider football, CANT WAIT!!! Get ready to hate haters, its gonna be a tough one for you guys.

    RAIDER NATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I see moore as a better option in the slot than ford. I was really happy to see hey bey have a good year, that dude is the hardest working player on the team. I just keep remembering a play when ford was a rookie on a 3rd and short he could have sealed the game with a catch but it bounced off his hands. Whenever the ball goes to him i just hold my breath because it can either be a 3and out or a 80 catch and run, another year or two and he will be a great slot man.

    The steal of the draft right here.

    Can’t wait to see everyone acting all surprised that Oakland is contending this year.

    They were last year, without Mcfadden playing 1 snap with Carson Palmer, who came off the couch and performed admirably considering the circumstances.

    This team is gonna be fun to watch this year. Gonna be a whole new game on D in Oakland with Al gone.

    Ya huff said it best with the most respect. When al would show up to the practice field the D wouldnt practice blitzing and would run straight man to man. Al had his hands too much on D after gruden got traded, which was why he got traded. Kiffin doesnt look too crazy anymore.

    I’d prefer if they got that number 84 off of him. Reminds me too much of the last guy to wear it, Javon Walker

    I hope they bring in Cedric Benson.

    If it was up to me and I could only keep one of the Raiders WR’s, it definitely be Denarious Moore.

    That kid is some kind of special.

    word is Rod Streater is the one who has been turning the most heads this off season. He knows how to create seperation between him and the defender.
