As the Oakland Raiders wrap up the OTA portion of their offseason program on Thursday, the club has begun signing its 2012 draft picks. The Raiders announced that fifth-round defensive end Jack Crawford, sixth-round defensive tackle Christo Bilukidi and seventh-round linebacker Nathan Stupar have inked four-year contracts.
Financial terms of the contracts were not disclosed. As the 158th overall pick in the draft, Crawford's signing bonus is projected to be $182,424. Bilukidi was selected with the 189th overall pick and is expected to receive a bonus of $103,864, while Stupar's signing bonus is expected to be worth $50,352 as the 230th overall pick.
The 6-foot-5, 274-pound Crawford had 14 sacks and 26.5 tackles for a loss during his four-year career at Penn State and is expected to compete for a role in the team's defensive end rotation. Bilukidi is a 6-foot-5, 311-pounder who had 10 sacks at Georgia State and could provide depth as an interior pass-rusher. Stupar played both inside and outside linebacker at Penn State, but is projected to play inside as a backup to Rolando McClain.
With Crawford, Bilukidi and Stupar signing, third-round offensive lineman Tony Bergstrom, fourth-round linebacker Miles Burris and fifth-round wide receiver Juron Criner are the Raiders' three remaining unsigned picks.
