The Jon Gruden era for the Las Vegas Raiders has stains of harmful free agents and draft selections. Draft misses have been the biggest culprit, with the 2020 draft class in shambles.
There are plenty of factors that helped the Raiders make these poor decisions. From overconfident coaches to a player Gruden just fell in love with, the reach for need was a significant factor.
Clelin Ferrell is an example of this process backfiring on the group. Reports of Gruden and Mike Mayock attempting to trade back show how they felt about him compared to other edge rushers.
