The Raiders have their top draft choice under contract.

The team announced the signing of edge rusher Tyree Wilson on Friday. Wilson was the seventh overall pick last month.

Wilson agreed to a four-year deal worth $25 million with a team option for a fifth year.

Wilson spent two years at Texas A&M before transferring to Texas Tech. He had 109 tackles, 29 tackles for loss, 15.5 sacks, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery during his time with the Red Raiders.

The Raiders have five other picks under contract, which leaves second-round tight end Michael Mayer, third-round defensive tackle Byron Young, and fourth-round cornerback Jakorian Bennett as the remaining unsigned choices.

  1. He has bust written all over him. Chris Simms told me he’s Myles Garrett. I simply don’t see it. Watch the film. It’s a large man with zero pass rush moves.

  2. Khalil Mack was a smallish, powerful man with zero pass rush skills when he came into the league.

    And last season Chris Simms had Aiden Hutchinson listed as the best DE in the draft. You probably thought he was going to be a bust as well.

  4. The lack of burst off the line concerns me. We’ll see. As a Raiders fan and having zero belief in Zigler or WacDaniels, my concern level is a 9 out of 10.

  5. Seems like a good guy and a hard worker. It is a shame he got drafted by the Raiders where his career will be ruined before it starts. *(F)amily* *(T)rust* *(R)espect*

  6. If these two guys Tyree Wilson and Michael Mayer don’t produce then oh boy are Ziegler and McDaniels in hot water. I have doubts about both the picks but I’m just an armchair quarterback I guess we’ll wait and see.

  7. Potentially best pass rusher in draft – paired with MaddMaxx yeah baby!!!
