This year the Raiders staff has a distinct advantage in meeting draft prospect; the coached the Senior Bowl. Being the coach of the North squad offered Gruden and his staff the ability to meet a lot of prospects up close and personal.
You can see the full list of players on the North squad here.
Senior bowl standouts include QB Daniel Jones, WR Andre Isabella, WR Terry McLaurin, WR Keelan Doss, OT Chuma Edoga, OT Dolton Risner, OG Chris Lindstrom, OG Beau Benzschawel, C Garrett Bradbury, DT Khalen Saunders, S Nasir Adderly, and Charles Omenihu.
If they met a prospect in Senior Bowl practices, they might not need to meet with them again if they didn’t want to. For that reason the Raiders focused mostly on juniors at the scouting combine.

Height: 6-3, Weight: 231
2018 total: 4831 passing yards, 50 TD’s, 8 Int
Gruden had some high praise for Haskins, saying “He’s a big guy, you feel his presence when he walks in a room. He’s a really calm, cool customer...”

Height: 5-10, Weight: 207
2018 total: 4361 passing yards, 42 TD’s, 7 int, 1001 rushing yards, 12 rushing TD’s
Gruden said of Murray “I don’t know what the physical concerns are. Are you talking about the height? I think that’s been proven to not be as much a factor as maybe it was years ago. If you ask Russell Wilson or [Drew] Brees, or the kid in Cleveland, I don’t know that it’s a true impact on the position or the performance.”
D.K. Metcalf, WR, Mississippi
Height: 6-3, Weight: 228
2018 total: 7 games, 26 catches, 569 receiving yards, 5 TD’s
Gruden said of Metcalf “He’s the biggest wide out I’ve ever seen. You have to ask yourself, who is tackling this guy?... This guy is really put together, but he shows good elusiveness, good change of direction and I think he is healthy. I think he has been cleared medically which is the number one thing we wanted to find out.”
Marquise Brown, WR, Oklahoma

2018 total: 12 games, 1318 receiving yards, 10 TD’s
