Instead, the organization elected to move away from Gruden. The picks turned into the 21st and 53rd overall in with the selection Napoleon Harris and tackle Langston Walker, respectively.
The first-round choice wound up being defensive end Tyler Brayton at the 32nd overall spot. Although management never distinctly voiced why Gruden was traded, the Buccaneers had precise desires.
Gruden also used a homophobic term when referring to the then-St. Louis Rams' decision to draft Michael Sam, an openly gay defensive end. One of Gruden's players in Las Vegas, defensive lineman Carl Nassib, came out as gay earlier this year.
NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy confirmed last week that the league had become aware of emails sent by Gruden as part of the WFT investigation and passed them along to Raiders executives. Raiders owner Mark Davis echoed those sentiments in his own statement Friday, referring to Gruden's email about Smith as "disturbing" and "not what the Raiders stand for. Essentially, if Davis told Gruden that he would either be fired or could resign under duress, it would be considered constructive discharge.
The way it has stacked up, this appears to be precisely what happened. And the whole legal argument about what right the Raiders had to fire Gruden for cause all depends on what is written into his contract. What really matters is whether Davis wants to pay Gruden that guaranteed money, and whether Gruden wants to raise a legal fight about it.
At the moment, it appears both sides want to work out a settlement and part ways as quietly as possible rather than turning this into the second and far less appealing Davis and Gruden center-stage spectacle of the past four years. Davis was right, this was a big effing deal. Both on the way in and on the way out. One more set of chairs waiting for the two men, signing one last check before spending the rest of their days figuring out what both might have cost themselves inside this busted reunion.

This is a weird way to end a drive. He finally got his prize in when Gruden agreed to leave ESPN and return to the sideline with a year contract. Gruden had revived the Raiders in is first stint in and then beat them in the Super Bowl the following season after he was traded to Tampa Bay for a boatload of draft picks.
His second tenure with the team started with a pep rally introductory news conference but provided few reasons for celebration as Gruden had a record, failing to reach a winning record or make the playoffs. He traded away stars Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper in his first season to start a rebuild, which has showed only minor progress.
But Brown was cut before the season after a series of run-ins with management, and the Raiders went They improved to last season and got off to a promising start this year before losing the past two games.
He has no head coaching experience but his elevation will allow other assistants such as defensive coordinator Gus Bradley to stay in their current roles. These companies are recommended by at least three top-performing newsletters and have low valuations.
