Chicago Bears: Finalizing Khalil Mack trade
We officially know all of the players in the Khalil Mack trade. What does it look like filled in?
The Chicago Bears acquired Khalil Mack, a 2020 second-round pick, and a conditional pick that turned into a 2020 seventh-rounder for a first-round pick in 2019, and 2020 along with a third-round pick in 2020 and a sixth-round pick in 2019.
With the Bears, finding out the final picks in the equation is easy. The Chicago Bears added Cole Kmet, and Arlington Hambright with the Raiders picks.
The Raiders took Josh Jacobs and Damon Arnette with the two first-round picks. They took Bryan Edwards with the third-round pick.
With the 2019 sixth-round pick, the Raiders maneuvered a bit. The initial pick was Blessaun Austin, who is on the New York Jets. The Raiders used this pick, along with Kelechi Osemele, to move up to pick 140. That pick was Ryquell Armstead, but the Jaguars made it because the Raiders once again used this as a trade chip. The Raiders got pick 38 and 109 for 35 and 140. Cody Ford and Khari Willis were made with the picks, but neither was made by the Raiders, who once again moved those picks.
