He can do a little bit of everything, including pass protect.It will be interesting to see how long Gruden will hold back his talented rookie back before unleashing him fully into weekly game plans.When asked if there was anything that has surprised him about training camp so far, Jacobs responded by saying, “I guess how, it’s smooth, honestly.I thought it was going to be way rougher than what it is.But I guess that’s just because I kind of like mentally knew a lot coming in but physically it feels smooth on my body.”If there are two things that we learned from this interview it’s that Nick Saban runs a very pro like program that prepares his prospects well and Josh Jacobs is very much ahead of the game.Follow @Egroat5 The Raiders were open for business in round two twice trading back, first with the Jaguars and then with the Bills.In the trade with the Jaguars the Raiders dealt their 35th, 140th, and 235th..."The Raiders were open for business in round two twice trading back, first with the Jaguars and then with the Bills.In the trade with the Jaguars the Raiders dealt their 35th, 140th, and 235th picks for the Jaguars 38th and 109th picks.In the Bills deal the Raiders picked up the 40th and 158th for their 38th overall.It was a masterful job of wheeling and dealing to move up 31 spots into round four while getting back a fifth round pick.When the Raiders finally decided to make a pick it was cornerback, Trayvon Mullen from Clemson.Mullen is a great combination of size (6 foot 1) and speed (4.4).He was a star in the National Championship game where he earned defensive most valuable player.The Raiders will not be selecting in round three unless they trade back up but will have two selections in round 4.See Round 2 (Picks 33-64)Round 3Pick 65: Arizona Cardinals: Zach Allen, DE, Boston CollegePick 66: Pittsburgh Steelers: Diontae Johnson, WR, ToledoPick 67: San Francisco 49ers: Jalen Hurd, WR, BaylorPick 68: New York Jets: Jachai Polite, OLB, FloridaPick 69: Jacksonville Jaguars: Josh Oliver, TE, San Jose StateTRADE: Buccaneers trade pick 70 to LA Rams for picks 94 and 99Pick 70: Los Angeles Rams - Darrell Henderson, RB, MemphisPick 71: Denver Broncos: Dre’Mont Jones, DT, Ohio StatePick 72: Cincinnati Bengals: Germaine Pratt, OLB, NC StatePick 73: Chicago Bears: David Montgomery, RB, Iowa StateTrade: Patriots trade pick 73 to Chicago Bears for picks 87, 162, and a 2020 fourth round pickPick 74: Buffalo Bills: Devin Singletary, RB, FAUPick 75: Green Bay Packers: Jace Sternberger, TE, Texas A&MPick 76: Washington Redskins: Terry McLaurin, WR, Ohio StatePick 77: New England Patriots: Chase Winovich, DE, Michigan Pick 78: Miami Dolphins: Michael Deiter, G, WisconsinPick 79: Los Angeles Rams: David Long Bo Jackson Jersey , CB, MichiganPick 80: Cleveland Browns: Sione Takitaki, LB, BYUPick 81: Detroit Lions: Will Harris, S, Boston CollegeTrade: Vikings trade pick 81 to the Detroit Lions for picks 88 and 204Pick 82: Tennessee Titans: Nate Davis, G, CharlottePick 83: Pittsburgh Steelers: Justin Layne, CB, Michigan StatePick 84: Kansas City Chiefs: Khalen Saunders, DT, Western IllinoisPick 85: Baltimore Ravens: Jaylon Ferguson, DE, Louisiana TechPick 86: Houston Texans: Kahale Warring, TE, San Diego StatePick 87: New England Patriots: Damien Harris, RB, AlabamaPick 88: Seattle Seahawks: Cody Barton, OLB, UtahPick 89: Indianapolis Colts: Bobby Okereke, ILB, StanfordPick 90: Dallas Cowboys: Connor McGovern, G, Penn StatePick 91: Los Angeles Chargers: Trey Pipkins, OT, Sioux FallsPick 92: New York Jets: Chuma Edoga, OT, USCTrade: Vikings trade pick 92 to the Jets for picks 93 and 217Pick 93: Baltimore Ravens: Miles Boykin, WR, Notre DameTrade: Vikings trade pick 93 to the Ravens for picks 102, 191, 193Pick 94:Jamal Dean, CB, AuburnPick 95: New York Giants: Oshane Ximines, DE, Old Dominion Pick 96: Buffalo Bills: Dawson Know, TE, Ole MissTrade: Redskins trade pick 96 to the Bills for picks 112 and 131Pick 97: Los Angeles Rams: Bobby Evans, OT, OklahomaPick 98: Jacksonville Jaguars: Quincy Williams, S, Murray StatePick 99: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (via LAR): Mike Edwards, S, KentuckyPick 100: Carolina Panthers: Will Grier, QB, West VirginiaPick 101: New England Patriots: Yodney Cajuste, OT, West Virginia Pick 102: Minnesota Vikings: Alex Mattison, RB, Boise StateSee Round 4 selectionsBest Available PlayersGerald Willis, DI, MiamiGerald Willis, DI, Miami
