Every Bad Move in Jon Gruden's Second Tender as the Raiders head coach (thread) 
1. Trading away your franchise player instead of paying him.
Gruden ruined the franchise from the start by trading away our defensive superstar Khalil Mack yes he got some picks back but he failed massively on drafting (will talk about that later)

2. Hiring a garbage staff
who did Gruden bring with him? the worst OC and DC tandem in Raiders history probably! Paul Guenther made the Raiders defense bottom 5 every single season he was coaching Olson was apart of the Dennis Allen Era and came back as he ruined the offense.

3. Mack and Cooper trades results
The Raiders received three first round picks in total because of Mack and Cooper and Gruden decided to ruin the picks as well.
Jacobs wasn't a bad pick
Abram was a horrible pick from the start.
The other Mack trade pick will be talked next.

4. More bad picks.
Arnette the other Gruden pick was horrible when he was actually on the field he is not even on the team anymore 💀 not to mention he was supposed to be drafted in the third round.
Leatherwood was the same thing and they picked him at 17! Horrible decision.

5. Horrible Free Agencies.
It wasn't only the drafts that were bad the free agencies were absolutely horrible. In 2019, the Raiders overpaid for 3 players (Tyrell, Joyner, Brown) after 2 seasons they were all gone!

The Raiders in 2020 signed Cory Littleton and Nick Kwiatkoski two very great linebacker for the Rams and Bears who were both ruined by Paul Guenther's scheme.
And in 2021 they were all Gus Bradley signings (Ngakoue, Casey, Jefferson)
Only good signing was probably Agholor

6. WHATS THE POINT OF SIGNING A GENERAL MANAGER WHEN YOU LITERALLY CONTROL EVERY DECISION? Mike Mayock was hired to be his puppet.
7. This is not a move but let's talk about his passive playcalling and second season collapses. Gruden sometimes didn't have his teams prepared against trash teams such as the Jets in 2019 (34-3) and the Falcons in 2020 (lost 42-6).
We've all complained about the playcalling.

8. Destroying the offensive line.
Gruden decided to trade away 2 good players apart of the offensive line (Gabe Jackson and Rodney Hudson) both in the same offseason that basically made us a bottom 10 offensive line group immediately. Now look at the situation we are in now.

One of the worst classes in NFL history.
I don’t know how I forgot about to talk about this during the draft section. Gruden and Mayock drafted one of the worst classes ever.
Ruggs, Arnette, Bowden Jr (traded before he even played), Muse, Edwards are not on the team right now.

Amik Robertson is also playing himself out of the team which could mean John Simpson would be the only one standing from the 2020 draft.
10. This has been a long ass thread so this will be my last reason. Earlier today, Dana White stated Brady and Gronk were about to join the Raiders but the whole idea was scrapped because of Jon Gruden. You guys can debate if this was a good move.
