NFL Draft 2021: Oakland native Alijah Vera-Tucker selected No. 14 overall

(KRON) -- Bay Area, represent!

The first California pick in the 2021 NFL Draft was Oakland native Alijah Vera-Tucker.

The New York Jets traded up from No. 23 to No. 14 to get Vera-Tucker in the first round.

New York sent its first-round pick, No. 23, and two third round picks, No. 66 and No. 86, to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for the 14th pick and a fourth-rounder, No. 143.

The 6-foot-4, 315-pound Trojan played tackle for USC, but will switch to guard in the league.

Vera-Tucker, 21, was born and raised in Oakland and attended Bishop O'Dowd High School.
