Me before the draft: Khalil Mack and Roquan Smith sounds like a killer duo for the Raiders.

On a related Khalil Mack note, my UNDER 8 wins wager on the Raiders (+110) is looking better by the minute. As stated before, it's hard seeing this team reaching .500.

But I always thought the closest thing we'd see to him was Khalil Mack.
And the Raiders are trading him.

Love a #Wikipedia update on a sports news trade. Either an irate #Raiders fan or a #DaBears fan channelling his inner Bob Swerski over the Khalil Mack trade. @bensonharb pic.twitter.com/dfLbbG2Cxu
