Greetings Antonio Brown Jersey White , Raider Nation! We’re getting ever closer to the important New Year’s Bowl games but today there are four mid-tier bowls going on, with some interesting matchups to watch.Up first is the Jared Birmingham Bowl between the Memphis Tigers and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, which is the coolest name in all of college athletics. Wake Forest somehow got to six wins this year! Good for them, but Memphis will try to keep them from getting to seven.After that it’s the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl, between the Houston Cougars and the Army Golden Knights. Houston’s best player is defensive tackle Ed Oliver, who of course is not playing. Army will try to triple option them to death. If Army had used the triple option in 1943, Hitler would have surrendered in a matter of months due to the destruction of both ACLs. Lockheed Martin is a fascinating sponsor for a bowl game. Here is a short list of the products manufactured by Lockheed Martin, which reads like my Christmas list:Lockheed F-117 stealth ground attack aircraft.F-22 Raptor, stealth tactical fighter.F-16 Fighting Falcon, initially developed by General Dynamics.U-2 reconnaissance jet.C-5 Galaxy undergoing upgrade to Super Galaxy.C-130 Hercules tactical transport.So clearly, their sponsorship of this bowl game is to appeal to the casual sports fan who is in the market for an F-117 stealth attack fighter. I mean Bo Jackson Jersey White , who isn’t? Following that is the Dollar General Bowl between the Buffalo Bulls and the Troy Trojans. If there were ever two teams best represented by Dollar General, it would be these two, and maybe Missouri.Finally we have the Hawai’i Bowl, which is on at 10:30 PM Eastern but will begin at 4:30 AM Hawai’i Time because unlike the little maps we have of America which show Hawai’i just south of Tijuana, Hawai’i is actually located in the South Pacific, which is on the other side of the planet. Nothing like watching a game at night in the States while the players watch a Hawai’ian sunrise! The teams are, get this, the Hawai’i Warriors and the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs. Why can’t they ever send Hawai’i to Shreveport for a bowl game? Get them boys some culture, and maybe some gumbo too.

Most rankings have Dwayne Haskins rated second among quarterbacks behind Kyler Murray.At this point Murray looks to be the pick at first overall to the Cardinals Derek Carr Jersey White , leaving Haskins as the next most coveted quarterback.Over the past three drafts there have been 11 quarterbacks drafted in round one, all but one of those quarterbacks (Mayfield) required a trade up to get them.History has shown that when teams want their guy they will do what it takes to secure him.The best case scenario would be if the Raiders could fleece the Giants for both of their first round picks in return for moving up just two spots.This could be wishful thinking considering the most recent and closest example of this occurred just two years ago when the Bears traded up one spot with the 49ers from three to two and gave up a third and fourth in 2017 and a 2018 third.The next best scenario would be if the Giants come calling and offer their sixth overall and second round pick (37 overall) at the least, Gruden and Mayock need to be ready to pull the trigger and make this move happen.The Raiders can move down to pick six and still be in prime position to select a stud pass rusher in Montez Sweat, Brian Burns, or Clelin Ferrell.The additional second round pick would give the Raiders five picks in the top 37.Another scenario would be Giants trading up ahead of the Raiders for their quarterback.For example with the 49ers at two or the Jets at three.Indirectly, that would benefit the Raiders because in that scenario two quarterbacks going in the top three pushes either Joey Bosa or Josh Allen down to pick four.Last year Gruden showed willingness to be aggressive moving up and down the board. The Raiders made five draft day trades in 2018. Should they be looking to do maneuver again at pick four, the Giants could be a good trade partner.
