You don't think the Raiders would rather have that 5th year option and the extra $15-20 million in cap space that comes from it? Because that cap would then roll over indefinitely. The money they save there could go to Mack or Cooper.
I mean sure, they'd take him in the 2nd over not having him at all, but the idea that they just don't care about the massive cap savings they could've had if they'd have drafted him in the 1st is silly.
The 5th year option is an often overlooked and MASSIVE potential advantage for a football team.
