That has changed over the past week and what looked to be a lost cause, is a competition once again.“Grant’s a good player. I think he’s a really good player,” said Gruden after the Raiders preseason opener against the Rams. “He’s versatile. He’s quiet, you won’t hear two words out of him. But he made a lot of plays against the Rams in the first practice before he got hurt and he put himself in position here to be a contributor in the last week of practice.”Gruden’s words on Grant were due to his play in the day in which Grant had three catches for 32 yards, including one of the more impressive grabs in the game.The catch was for 18 yards and Grant appeared to hover in the air until the ball arrived. He caught the pass with a defender in his face and tapped his toes inbounds.“I like [Ryan] Grant,” Gruden added. “My brother [Jay Gruden] had Ryan in Washington. I used to go up there and sometimes all we talked about a lot of times was Ryan Grant. He played excellent when [Pierre] Garcon was out. He played over there when DeSean Jackson was hurt, catch 15 passes. We tried to sign him, the Ravens tried to sign him. There were a lot of things going on with Ryan, but I got my guy. I’m really excited about him. I think he’s a really good receiver. I think he’s got to get some luck, he’s got to stay healthy. He’s got to try to be consistent to get an opportunity but we’re happy to have him.”Grant was a 5th round pick out of Tulane. He spent his first four seasons in Washington. After a career-high 45 catches for 573 yards and 4 touchdowns in 2017, he signed on in Indianapolis last season. Despite a career-high 10 starts for the Colts, he was unable to duplicate or improve upon his 2017 numbers Rashaan Melvin Jersey , putting up 35 catches for 334 yards and one touchdown. He’s getting another shot in Oakland and with four camp practices and three preseason games remaining, he has re-awakened his chances of sticking with the Raiders.Follow @LeviDamien That was quick. Mike Mayock was in Kansas City yesterday to fulfill duties for his NFL Network gig and took advantaged of the locale to interview for the vacant GM position as well. Now according to Adam Schefter, Mayock went from being interviewed for the job to being hired.Considering that the Raiders had already dipped into the television analyst market for head coach Jon Gruden, doing so again for his general manager is just a tad ironic. However, unlike Gruden who came with a Super Bowl winning coaching history, Mike Mayock steps in with zero experience as an NFL GM.What Mayock does have experience with though is being THE draft guy for NFL Network, working tirelessly each year sifting through the players entering the draft and trying to figure out where they fit. That’s a huge part of the job he will be taking over as the Raiders have numerous holes and ample draft capital to fill them with.Another reason why this move could make sense for the Oakland Raiders is that they needed a new GM who would be comfortable taking a back seat power wise to Gruden. With the 10 year, $100M contract that Jon Gruden signed last year came complete control of the team, and any GM that comes in has to do so with the understanding that they are the right hand and not the head of the team.The move is supposed to be confirmed by the team later on today, though these types of reports tend to be true. Get ready for the lambasting that comes with the irony of adding another TV personality to a huge position for the Raiders, because the jokes will be coming fast and furious afterwards.At least if they were going to dip their toe back into the TV analyst pool, they reeled in a guy that has been very well respected at his analysis. Mayock has always been a no nonsense, say it how it is guy who now will have the chance to see how well his mock drafting skills translate to the real NFL draft.
