Welcome to RaiderNation @derekcarrqb Lets work!!!!!! — Rod Streater (@rodstreater80) May 9, 2014

I LIKE IT @derekcarrqb — Brice Butler (@Brice_Butler) May 9, 2014

CARR — JT The Brick (@JTTheBrick) May 9, 2014

The #Raiders pick the No. 1 QB on their board: #FresnoSt QB Derek Carr. This is why they wouldn't trade it. Titans strongly considered it — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) May 9, 2014

Raiders. — David Carr (@DCarr8) May 9, 2014

Phil Savage: Reggie McKenzie has really nailed this draft so far #Raiders — SiriusXM NFL Radio (@SiriusXMNFL) May 9, 2014

#Raiders set a benchmark. Wouldn't take a QB rated lower than Tom Savage. They believe Matt McGloin is a great backup. Carr is different — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) May 9, 2014

Carr has the size, the head, the athletic ability and, most importantly, the arm needed to throw it 40 times a game in the NFL. — SiriusXM Fantasy (@SiriusXMFantasy) May 9, 2014

"Khalil Mack & Derek Carr [to the @Raiders]... that's not too shabby!" - @richeisen #NFLDraft — NFL Network (@nflnetwork) May 9, 2014

Derek Carr is lucky to learn from Matt Schaub, a great guy and leader who'll do everywhere he can to help the rookie learn the game. — John McClain (@McClainonNFL) May 9, 2014

Raiders QB Derek Carr said at combine: I'm not 6-6 and won't run 4.3, but I'll out-prepare anybody. No wonder Rich Gannon likes him. — Jerry McDonald (@Jerrymcd) May 9, 2014

Got em!!! #RAIDERNATION — Pastor Napoleon (@napoleonkaufman) May 9, 2014

Raiders loved Derek Carr all the way through the process and thought, in particular, he's strong fundamentally, mature and a grinder. — Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) May 10, 2014
