Raiders Sign Monster Seventh-Round Pick Munford

Dave Ziegler and the Las Vegas Raiders didn't expect to find gold in the form of Ohio State Buckeye Thayer Munford in the seventh round, but they just signed him.

HENDERSON, Nev. -- The elation inside the Las Vegas Raiders' "War Room" as the NFL Draft came to an end was nearly overwhelming when they saw that Ohio State's "Monster" offensive lineman Thayer Munford was still on the board.

The Silver and Black, and their new General Manager Dave Ziegler see a ton of promise in the new Las Vegas Raider, that they feel can be molded by the master offensive tacticians they have on staff into something great.

Per the Raiders:
