7 years agoOakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden has been very impressed with quarterback Derek Carr's knowledge of his offense in training camp. And that's saying something, as Gruden is notoriously tough on his quarterbacks and forces them to know all the nuances and variables built into every play. Carr has passed with flying colors. “I think he’s one of the best, in terms of processing information,” Gruden said. “I think he craves new things. He wants more… ‘What do we have today? What are we doing today? What’s new? What do we got?’ He has a photographic memory. It comes so easy to him. He’s got the offense mastered more than I do.” So far, so good for Carr. But until the games that count come, fantasy owners will likely be a little skeptical after Carr took a step back in a stagnant Raiders offense in 2017. But there's plenty of evidence that Carr is ready for a bounce-back season. Draft him as a high-end QB2 with upside.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
