The were one of the big stories of the 2019 NFL Draft, an impre sive feat considering Mike Mayock and Jon Gruden didn't even need to draft a quarterback to get any buzz. Having three first-round picks helps. Plus, there was always the thought they might try to .Such a deal never materialized -- and the would -- and it was never going to materialize according to Jon Gruden. There was , but even then it doesn't sound like the Raiders were interested in the Heisman Trophy winner. during the draft weekend (King ran the interview in Memorial Day Jared Boll Men Jersey 's FMIA column) and opened up about Murray."We all loved Murray. That doesn't mean we were gonna take him. How do you not love his performance, his playing style, what he accomplished? I had a blast with him during a pre-draft workout ," Gruden said. "We didn't think about going up to number one. We did look at Nick Bosa, Quinnen Williams, but not going to one. We did our homework on the quarterbacks. You gotta know who's coming into the league at that Carter Rowney Women Jersey position. There was a lot of speculation that we were gonna take a quarterback. "I kept watching a guy on NFL Network saying we're going up to get Murray. Then he says we're going up to get Dwayne Haskins. Then he says we're going up to get Drew Lock. We're trading Derek Carr. I don't understand it."Color me guilty among those who believed Gruden might get a little loose in the first round and do what he needed to acquire a young quarterback.At the end of Derek Grant Kids Jersey the day, they pa sed on those guys multiple times. Murray wasn't there, but you have to believe they could have gotten him if they wanted. Haskins was never in play for them at No. 4. They pa sed on Lock four times, making multiple selections before the took the Mi souri quarterback. I still don't believe the Raiders are all in on Carr, but I do think their bet on him this year makes sense. They surrounded him with lots of weapons, , (free agency) and (draft). If Carr is good, they'll win games and Gruden will be justified in his offensive spending spree.If Carr struggles, his contract is easy to get out of after 2019, Kevin Bieksa Men Jersey with the Raiders battling just $5 million in dead money in 2020. They would create more than $16 million in cap space by cutting Carr after this season. And there's also the option of keeping Carr on his relatively small deal -- he averages just over $21 million per year over Korbinian Holzer Kids Jersey the next three years -- drafting a quarterback and letting him develop behind Carr as the team moves to Las Vegas.Gruden not taking a quarterback in the next two drafts would be borderline shocking. But he didn't feel he needed to do it this draft, and certainly didn't feel he needed to pre sure Carr by making a huge move up to grab Murray. As much as we all wanted some blockbuster, old-school Raiders trade up for the top quarterback, it apparently was not a thing that was likely to happen. |
