I found this interesting and a little scary

Round 1, Pick No. 12: Jacob Eason, QB, Washington
Similar to the New York Giants selecting Duke quarterback Daniel Jones early last year, the Raiders make a surprise pick selecting Jacob Eason with the No. 12 overall pick in the NFL draft. Eason is basically the opposite of Derek Carr, and if Jon Gruden really is tired of Carr as the franchise quarterback, this selection makes sense.

You will rarely see Eason throw to a check down, and more often see him airing the ball out and hitting receivers in stride. Eason has a cannon of an arm, and with how much time the Raiders offensive line will be able to give him, he will have time to make big plays.

Round 1, Pick No. 19: Henry Ruggs III, WR, Alabama

If the Raiders are going to have a quarterback who wants to throw deep, they need a receiver with the speed to get downfield. Insert Alabama wide receiver Henry Ruggs III. Ruggs is the fastest receiver in college football and would bring a completely unique skill set to the Raiders offense.

With the additions of Eason and Ruggs, Jon Gruden finds his fun, explosive offense that he wanted. The team already has an elite running back in Josh Jacobs, and a solid offensive line, so they get their final missing piece on offense in Ruggs here at No. 19
