Raiders general manager Mike Mayock conducted a conference call with several media members on Tuesday to preview the NFL draft and to talk about the offseason in general.
I was on the call and wanted to pass along some highlights:
Mayock said the Raiders are “very appreciative” to have Derek Carr as their quarterback in what will be strange offseason because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Mayock also praised new backup Marcus Mariota. He said he thinks Mariota is a good fit because he and John Gruden liked him so much coming out of college in 2015 when he was the No.
