When the Raiders sent home their scouting staff a week before the draft Ted Hendricks Jersey , it was a vote of no-confidence from coach most of whom were hired when Reggie
McKenzie was running the front office.But Gruden and Mayock still have faith in
some holdovers from the old regime. According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network,
the Raiders have been telling other teams that if they want to call to talk
about draft trades, they can contact Gruden, Mayock, Trey Scott from the player
personnel department, Tom Delaney from the football operations department, or
general counsel Dan Ventrelle.Scott, Delaney and Ventrelle were all hired before
Gruden returned to the Raiders last year, which indicates there are still at
least some holdovers in the front office that Gruden feels he can trust.After
the draft, the Raiders are expected to make significant changes to their
scouting department. Jon Gruden doesn’t have a lot to show for his first year
back in Oakland Dave Casper Jersey , as the Raiders have the worst record in the NFL. But he says there’s a lot to show for over the next two years.On a conference call with
Arizona media before the Raiders’ upcoming game against the Cardinals, Gruden
noted that the Raiders are well positioned to improve their team in 2019 and
2020.?? think we??e accumulated five first-round picks in the next two years. I
think, obviously, we??e got some money to spend on potential free agents, which
is also exciting,” Gruden said.Gruden is right: The Raiders have their own
first-round pick in 2019, which based on current standings would be first
overall, and they also have the Cowboys’ first-round pick and the Bears’
first-round pick in 2019, plus their own first-round pick and the Bears’
first-round pick in 2020. The Raiders are also projected to have the fifth most
cap space in the NFL in 2019.So it’s possible that the Raiders may be able to
get things turned around with an influx of talent starting next year. Even if it
says something about Gruden’s performance this year that next year is all he has
to talk about.
