Raiders sign top pick McClain

Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - The Oakland Raiders signed linebacker Rolando McClain late Wednesday night.

McClain was selected by the Raiders with the eighth overall pick in this year's draft. The 6-foot-3, 255-pounder played three seasons for Alabama, where he earned the 2009 Butkus Award as the nation's top linebacker and helped the Crimson Tide win the BCS National Championship.

A unanimous first team All-American selection, McClain started 37 of 41 games at Alabama, posting 275 tackles, eight sacks, and five interceptions.

The transaction completes the signings of Oakland's nine-player draft class.
