The Raiders have three first-round picks, but they’re unlikely to use any of them on a quarterback, Michael Gehlken of the Review-Journal hears. Behind the scenes, the odds of taking a QB in the first 32 picks seems “remote at best” and a change in thinking would be a “shocking pivot,” per the Raiders beat writer.
The Raiders have been steadfast in their support of Derek Carr and it sounds like they’ll keep true to their word. Then again, this was the same team that pledged its allegiance to tight end Jared Cook only to let him leave without much of a fight, so nothing is 100% certain.
Last year, Carr managed to complete 68.9% of his throws for 4,000+ yards and 19 touchdowns against ten interceptions. The Raiders went 4-12, but there were issues on both sides of the ball – particularly after the team traded a generational talent on defense and its top wide receiver – so the Raiders appear willing to give Carr the benefit of the doubt. And, of course, he should have an easier time with Antonio Brown and Tyrell Williams in tow.
They dont need to.
With the incredible depth that Glennon, Peterman and Jones provide, Chucky might be wise to use all 3 first round picks on QBs.
He’s fine the team was not good
Carr was good until he got hurt. He can have all of the weapons he wants but he won’t be good again until he stops being so scared.
I been saying that. He was a stud in 16 when they went 12-4. Hasnt been close to that since.
They don’t need one, but they need a lot of defense of help on the other hand and a better coach than Gruden, because he is washed up
Carr is unremarkably average.
Quite a bit more than most people would describe you
Defense defense defense defense defense. RB, OL, more defense.
And receivers, TE…
Kicker , punter ,
Carry has been pretty skittish, but that line has been leaky and the wr’s were trash, including quit on you cooper, he has an opportunity of a lifetime this year, if he cant count it together there will be a new sheriff in town next year.
*Carr, stupid auto correct
