ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Jon Gruden has some pointed advice for his new general manager as Mike Mayock approaches his first NFL draft as the Oakland Raiders' general manager, after years as a draft analyst for NFL Network.
Especially with the Raiders holding so much draft capital.
"Don't mess it up, dude," Gruden told Mayock.
Guenther: Based on our divisional rivals making adjustments this offseason, I think we should trade down with one of the picks and grab a zone corner. This will allow us to mix up our coverage against Rivers and Mahomes. We should also add a pass rusher to replace Mack. There are some great value to be had with the DLinemen in this draft.
Olson: I agree. And I think we need some OLine depth. We did some extensive analysis on player projections and fit in ourblocking scheme. Here's a list of potential targets.
Mayberry: Great job, gentlemen. Jon, do you have anything to add?
Gruden: See, what you want to do is get these picks right. If you mess it up, it can really set the team back a few years. You want to make sure you get CHARACTER guys who will put their BODY on the line for the team. SMASH MOUTH FOOTBALL men who won't let you down.
