Khalil Mack Trade Revisited: Raiders, Bears' Full Deal Revealed After 2020 Draft

Almost two years after the Chicago Bears acquired Khalil Mack in a trade from the Raiders, the deal is now complete with all draft picks involved having been utilized, per Peter King of NBC Sports. 

The Las Vegas Raiders grabbed two first-round picks in the original trade, used on running back Josh Jacobs in 2019 and cornerback Damon Arnette in 2020. A 2020 third-round pick was used on receiver Bryan Edwards, while the sixth-round pick from 2019 was eventually turned into a fourth-round pick used on tight end Foster Moreau.

Chicago added Mack and also got a 2020 second-round pick used on tight end Cole Kmet and a seventh-round pick that was used on offensive lineman Arlington Hambright. 

The extent of the trade shows why patience is important in examining a deal of this magnitude.

Mack is clearly an impact player, earning first-team All-Pro honors during his first year in Chicago after totaling 12.5 sacks. He was quieter in 2019, finishing with 8.5 sacks in 16 games, but he remains one of the most feared pass-rushers in the game.

The Bears also added the first tight end off the board this year in Kmet, while hoping Hambright could be a productive player on the offensive line.

Meanwhile, the Raiders already have one impact player from the deal in Jacobs, who rushed for 1,150 yards last season in just 13 games. There are more question marks about Arnette, the No. 19 overall pick who was considered the No. 13 cornerback in the class by Bleacher Report's Matt Miller. Still, the team thinks highly of him, and he will likely see the field early.

Further down the board, Las Vegas will hope to have snagged a steal out of Edwards, a 6'3" receiver who can provide some much-needed size on the roster to complement speedster Henry Ruggs III. 

The Raiders also got a lot of mileage out of its second 2019 pick, which was originally the 196 overall selection in the sixth round. 

A salary dump of Kelechi Osemele—who was then released after playing just three games in 2019—helped the team move up to the fifth round. That pick was then used to move up to the fourth round, while more draft-day dealing helped the team end up with two fourths and a seventh, which were used on Moreau, cornerback Isaiah Johnson and defensive end Quinton Bell.

Johnson appeared in five games last year, while Bell was released and signed to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers practice squad.

Though not every Day 3 pick will excel, the Raiders are happy with Maxx Crosby and Hunter Renfrow, while Moreau and Johnson could have value in 2020. Even after three straight losing seasons, the organization continues to acquire talent while trying to build a contender.
