Now that all picks involved in the blockbuster trade have been used, the trade became a seven-player swap in which the Bears received Mack, Kmet and offensive lineman Arlington Hambright. The Raiders received running back Josh Jacobs, receiver Bryan Edwards and cornerbacks Damon Arnette and Blessuan Austin.
As the team's highest selection in two years, Kmet was an ideal bet for a de facto first-round pick. Like fellow second-round pick Jaylon Johnson, Kmet left college after only three years. In an alternate reality, both players would likely be picked higher in the upcoming draft if they had returned to their respective colleges.
