ALAMEDA -- The Raiders selected Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson in the fourth round Saturday, No. 112 overall.
Using the pick acquired from Tampa in exchange for the No. 100 and No. 181 picks, Wilson becomes the third quarterback on the roster along with Matt Flynn and Terrelle Pryor.
Wilson struggled as senior after coach Bobby Petrino was fired, but was considered one of the better quarterbacks in the country entering the 2012 season.
``You have to go back to his junior tape to give him a fair look,'' NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock said. ``His senior tape is bad but the program was disintegrating.''
Wilson, 6-foot-2, 215 pounds, passed for 3,387 yards with 21 touchdowns and 13 inteceptions as a senior as the Razorbacks went 4-8. In his junior year, Wilson's touchdown-to-interception ratio was 24-to-6.
By trading the No. 100 spot in the fourth round to Tampa Bay, the Raiders got the Wilson pick plus the sixth-round owned by the Bucs. Oakland now has picks 172, 176, 181 and 205 in the sixth round.
The Raiders also own a selection in the seventh round, No. 209.
