slats Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Nothing could be better for the Jets' prospects of trading down this year. Raiders working out Kyler Murray and Dwayne Haskins next week Posted by Darin Gantt on March 25, 2019, 10:16 AM EDT AP The Raiders have expressed all the confidence in the world in quarterback Derek Carr. But they’re still doing their homework on potential replacements. According to Albert Breer of SI.com, the Raiders are having private workouts with Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray and Ohio State’s Dwayne Haskins back-to-back next week. That will involve some travel, as such workouts have to happen near the player’s campus or hometown, but it will also give the Raiders braintrust an apples-to-apples comparison of the two, if they’re thinking about using the fourth pick in the draft (or moving around) for a rookie quarterback. It’s also interesting as it pertains to the future of Carr, who has four years and $78 million in non-guaranteed money left on his deal. “Derek is 27, he’ll be 28 in March, and we think he’s a franchise quarterback,” General Manager Mike Mayock said. “The other piece of that is a G.M. and a coach have to look to upgrade the roster at every single position. So do I think there are a whole lot of quarterbacks out there better than Derek? No. But is it my job to always check, and look? Yeah.” The Raiders also have extra draft capital, and could ostensibly make a move up if the Cardinals didn’t want to use their top pick on a quarterback for the second straight year.

Larz Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Gruden wants to trade out so bad lol. I don't buy this ruse Not at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrebetfan80 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 the fact that the raiders are interested helps the jets tremendously. teams know if they want one of these guys they may very well have to leap frog over the raiders now to ensure they get their man which means calling the jets. I have gotten no indication yet that the 49ers are looking to trade out, I think they very much want to make the choice between quinnen williams and joey bosa at 2.

They already have two additional late firsts and a high second. This news could be one of three things. Either they're just doing their due diligence as Mayock suggests, or they're legitimately looking to replace Carr, or they're blowing serious smoke hoping someone else trades ahead of them so they can land the blue-chip defender they desire. And all of those scenarios are good for the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all of those scenarios are good for the Jets. No downside for them in trying to slide the 2nd QB above them if they are looking for a specific defender to fall to them. Right now they are probably going to have a choice of one of the big-3. Get Haskins up there and they have a choice of 2 with no cost to them. I think it's just gamesmanship. I mean...giving up on Carr would be crazy. Kind of like giving up on a premium edge rusher or a really good, young WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slats Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 IMHO, the denials only help the Jets' position: Jon Gruden: Derek Carr will be our quarterback Posted by Michael David Smith on March 25, 2019, 5:01 PM EDT Getty Images Raiders coach Jon Gruden insists that Derek Carr is his starting quarterback for the 2019 season. Despite the Raiders’ plans to work out Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray and Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins, Gruden says Carr, not a rookie, will be the starter. “Yeah, he’s going to be our quarterback,” Gruden told Jim Trotter of NFL Network. “I’m not going to address all the rumors. I could care less about the rumors, you know? He threw for 4,100 yards. Threw for almost 70 percent in a very dire, tough circumstance. So I’ve got a lot of confidence in Carr, what he can do with Antonio Brown, with Tyrell Williams, with Trent Brown coming in here to help our offensive line, with a better defense. I’m excited about Carr.” Gruden said the meetings with quarterbacks are no different than their meetings with “a lot of guys at every position” and that Gruden wants to make the right pick with the fourth overall pick. Realistically, if the Raiders choose Murray or Haskins, Carr is on the way out. But right now, Gruden says he’s sticking with Carr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

long time suffering Jets f Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 2 hours ago, UnitedWhofans said: Chad Forbes throwing out there saying Redskins and Raiders could make a deal because of the Gruden connection Just imagine if that trade went through, then the Giants came calling. I would want both 1st rounders and their 2nd round pick. With the Redskins in the 4th slot, there's a very good chance one of the big 3 defensive studs being there at 6. That's one trade I would make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raiders are most likely drafting the best pass rusher De on their board. Probably would take Q Williams if he dropped to them. ( might not get pass rushing De at 24 - so their is a risk if they pass on de with their first of three first round picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an excellent player, top 10-15 worthy for sure, but top 4 is a reach. If they are working out these two QB's it may be ruse to get the Giants at #6 or the Lions at #8 to trade up for Haskins, allowing them to slide back to one of those spots for White. if he is indeed the intended target.

Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 What if the Raiders get a big offer for Carr? - he is older and they are not ready to make a run, just don't see a team that is ready to make a run if they had a QB - Vikings and Jaguars are committed, who would pay up for him?

jgb Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Gruden has offloaded more talent than Macc has drafted in four years. Wish we had canned Macc with Bowles and brought in Reggie Mackenzie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
