If you have the top pick and have no intention of trading it Antonio Brown Jersey White , why not just make it clear what you’re doing?Well, the Cardinals aren’t subscribing to that this year. Maybe the Commish wants them to keep up the intrigue to make fans tune in from the start of the draft. Whatever the case, the Cardinals are playing their part to a tee. To the point that they’re claiming to keep the draft’s top four prospects in mind, and according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, are going as far as to contact Quinnen Williams to let him know he’s still in the running.Despite their seeming waffling, few predictions are waffling on theirs. Most still believe the pick will be Kyler Murray Bo Jackson Jersey White , including ESPN’s Adam Schefter who said on ESPN that “All signs” point to Murray as the top pick.Even with the Cardinals taking Josh Rosen in last year’s draft, the talk is still about going QB again and trading Rosen. Should they go in another direction, it would figure to be a vote of confidence in Rosen.Quinnen Williams is worthy of the top pick so if he’s still there at four, he is certainly a possibility for the Raiders.Follow @LeviDamien Despite all the talk about the Raiders being open for business with several veteran players, there were none dealt at the trade deadline. The Raiders were said to be listening to offers for players such as Bruce Irvin, Rashaan Melvin https://www.raiderslockerroom.com/authentic-derek-carr-jersey , Karl Joseph, and Kelechi Osemele, but the trade deadline came and went with no deals made.There was a lot of talk about the one trade the Raiders did make, however. That was the trade 8 days ago that had Amari Cooper go to Dallas for a 2019 first round pick. Two trades today in particular had many invoking the Raiders trade of Cooper. The Broncos trade of Demarius and the Lions trade of Golden Tate to the Eagles for a third round pick.Outside of their positions, there aren’t a lot of similarities between these three players. Thomas and Tate are both 30 years old. Cooper is 24. Thomas has a big contract for an aging player and Tate’s contract is up after this season.Even still, there’s no question the Raiders got great compensation for Amari Cooper Derek Carr Jersey White , especially when you consider the Cowboys are currently out of the playoff picture and could be giving up a somewhat high first round pick unless they turn things around.There are certainly scarier trades the Raiders have made and could’ve made. Well played, ESPN.Follow @LeviDamien
