The group announced No. 4 overall selection Clelin Ferrell invited his four-year newcomer contract Tuesday. Much like first-round picks, the deal comes with a team option for a fifth season.Viewed as a surprise pick near the top of the draft, the Raiders have glowed regarding the defensive end’s pro-readiness and acumen to give rise from Day 1 as a player and leader. Oakland defensive coordinator Paul Guenther compared Ferrell into Bengals underrated pass rusher Carlos Dunlap recently. Ferrell may not own the traits that blow scouts away, but his production and skill in every aspect made the Raiders comfy taking him.

In his senior season, Ferrell generated 55 tackles — including 20 for loss — 11.5 sacks, four passes defended, three forced fumbles and 2 fumble recoveries, including one for a TD, making a consensus first-team All-American selection, first-team All-ACC and the ACC Defensive Player of the Year.
