The Raiders finished the NFL Draft by taking another risk, although this one could come with an extremely high payoff.
The Raiders traded up in the fifth round on Saturday to take talented Michigan pass rusher Maurice Hurst, who fell from a projected first-round pick to off some draft boards because of concerns from a heart condition that got him sent home from the Scouting Combine.
‘‘It’s money,’’ Hurst said. ‘‘Just upset and disappointed in teams that decided not to pick me. But one got a great player for very little. So I’m very excited to be part of the Raiders organization.’’
