Al Davis would approve. But what won over GM Mike Mayock was Ruggs' hyper-competitive spirit, which sets him apart from other track stars in football, not to mention his world-class speed.

A bit of a shocker, but it tells us GM Mike Mayock cleared any character questions that existed at one point with Arnette.
He's competitive, can play zone/off-man, and you need all the corners you can find in the same division as Patrick Mahomes.

The receiver-turned-QB was a brilliant runner last season when pressed into duty under center, displaying some rare versatility and selflessness. But it also hurt his development at receiver, and he joins a suddenly crowded WR room in Las Vegas. Don’t count out Bowden contributing in some way — he has real competitive fire to his game and some Randall Cobb qualities. But it’s tough to figure out how all these receivers will get on the field.

Two picks, two wideouts to Vegas. Huh. It’s hard not to love Edwards’ production when he was healthy and had passable QB play. He also competes with physicality and intensity. But someone needs to help GM Mike Mayock kick his WR fetish. Are they going to run five-wide formations a year after drafting Josh Jacobs in Round 1? It feels like they’re killing a mosquito with a Howitzer. We like Edwards more than we like the fit.

Mike Mayock has a type. He likes receivers, Clemson players and high-character guys. Just having a little fun there, but Muse really is the Raiders' mold of player. He was a muscled-up safety in college who ran shockingly fast at the combine, but we think Muse might be best in a nickel LB role. Still, he was asked to fill various roles in a defensive scheme with multiplicity, which is appealing, and he will carry a special-teams mentality into the pros. Will he ever be special? Maybe not, but you can win with contributors such as this.
