Thursday was another busy day at the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine.

General Manager Mike Mayock spoke to the media Wednesday, and Head Coach Jon Gruden followed suit on Thursday.

During his time at the podium, Gruden touched on a variety of topics, including this year's crop of defensive linemen, a few wide receivers that caught his eye, and yes, his thoughts on the quarterbacks entering the draft.

Speaking of quarterbacks, when asked about Derek Carr, Gruden didn't mince words about No. 4, saying, "yeah, he is our franchise quarterback, yes. Try to make that clear.""

Coach Gruden also spent time talking with the local media, as well a few minutes with SiriusXM NFL Radio.

Coach Gruden also sat down for an exclusive chat with Raiders.com in the comfort of his mobile command center in Indy.

The boys are back with another episode of Upon Further Review as well.

Eddie Paskal sits down with Coach Gruden, and then he and Kyle Martin get into Day 2 of Combine action, and spill on the beans on whether or not they could bench 225 pounds.
