First Tommy Mellott was picked by the Las Vegas Raiders.
Then the Raiders took the man he beat out for the Walter Payton Award, Cam Miller, two picks later.
That was in the sixth round of the NFL Draft, which concluded on Saturday; in the seventh round the San Francisco 49ers selected Montana receiver and return man Junior Bergen with the 252nd overall pick.
