The next big step toward the 2019 draft is the NFL Scouting Combine. While players will begin showing up to the annual event on Tuesday, February 26, the following day head coaches and general managers from all 32 NFL teams will also be taking to the podium to field questions from the media.
This year, the Raiders will double dip with both head coach Jon Gruden and GM Mike Mayock stepping up to the mic. Both spoke last year as well, but then it was Gruden’s first press conference since his introductory press conference in January and Mayock was still an NFL Network draft analyst.
