The hay may not be fully in the barn Hunter Renfrow Oakland Raiders Jersey , but the barn has been emptied of any livestock.The Raiders have sent their scouts home until after the draft, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media. Per the report, coach Jon Gruden and G.M. Mike Mayock “don’t know who to trust.”(Well, for starters, they can’t trust whoever leaked that tidbit to Rapoport.)It’s a bizarre report, for a variety of reasons. First, it suggests an unprecedented level of paranoia. Second Hunter Renfrow Oakland Raiders Jersey , it reveals that Gruden and Mayock have no functional plan for securing the most sensitive information regarding their final draft board or strategy, without demoralizing the entire scouting staff. Third, acting on the lack of trust creates the impression that the Raiders are more dysfunctional than other teams, even if other teams have the same concerns.And they do. Coaches and General Managers routinely take steps to keep their plans secret within the building, given the possibility that someone may intentionally or accidentally blab. While clearing the building may create complete protection against espionage, there has to be a way to do it that doesn’t entail telling the world, “Hey Hunter Renfrow Jersey 2019 , look at us! We don’t know what we’re doing!”It also underscores the immense pressure that Gruden and Mayock (mainly Gruden) are currently feeling to turn a trio of first-round picks into players who will make fans and critics forget about Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper.Earlier this week, included a draft of the draft rooms we’d most like to visit.

If that were the case, it would mean Kolton Miller moved to right tackle after one season at left tackle. But Gruden and Mayock were not revealing their plans for the two of them.Jon Gruden revealed Friday in his press conference prior to the team’s rookie minicamp that Kolton Miller would remain at left tackle with Trent Brown moving to right tackle.“We’re going to start with Kolton [Miller] at left tackle and Trent [Brown] will begin on the right side and Brandon Parker will be the swing tackle,” said Gruden. “We like that as a launching pad for us. Trent played very well at right tackle for San Francisco [49ers] very well for New England. Gives us some versatility and that’s how we’re going to start the show.”It’s unusual in the NFL to see a right tackle get paid as much as Trent Brown will be paid — he will average $16.5 million per season — but it isn’t unheard of to put at least an equal level of importance on the right tackle position as the left tackle.The best pass rusher on the opposing team will line up across from the lesser tackle, which is usually the right tackle. That doesn’t figure to be the case next season with Brown on the right side. Follow @LeviDamien
