ALAMEDA — From now until April 25, count on continued speculation that Raiders coach Jon Gruden has his eyes on a quarterback to replace Derek Carr this season.
Here’s a possibility you probably haven’t considered — yes, the Raiders draft a quarterback in the first round.
And Derek Carr remains the starter.
The belief here for months is Gruden has been on the level in his praise of Carr and has little interest in starting over with someone new. Not after grooming Carr for an entire offseason and regular-season and seeing progress.
Which hasn’t prevented a glut of Kyler Murray projections, should the Oklahoma quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner fall to No.
