Raiders ink third-round tight end Clive Walford

Clive Walford is now officially a Raider.

The rookie tight out out of Miami (Fla.) signed his first contract with the team on Tuesday. He's the ninth of 10 draft picks to sign.

The 6-foot-4, 251-pounder was selected 68th overall by the Raiders. He set Hurricanes records and became the seventh tight end in the school's storied tight end history to amass over 1,000 receiving yards.

Walford will immediately join Oakland's new-look rotation and could develop as a trusted option for quarterback Derek Carr.
