Silver and Black Report

NEW YORK – The Oakland Raiders began Saturday by picking Bruce Campbell with the 106^th overall selection in the NFL draft. The workout warrior and imposing physical specimen had a stellar workout at the NFL combine and is one of the most imposing prospects available.

For months, pundits and draft experts pegged him Oakland’s first round draft selection, instead the Silver & Black got good value on the draft’s final day by choosing a player at an area they had a need at.

Campbell started 17-of-27 games while at Maryland and in his starting assignments, the tackle recorded 116 knockdowns/key blocks with eleven touchdown resulting blocks.

The Raiders also moved up into the 4^th round and acquired the 109^th overall pick.
