Few people are happier to see 2018 end than those associated with the Raiders. It was a rocky first season back for Jon Gruden, filled with some franchise-altering trades and way too many losses. But now the season is over and it's even easier to turn the page following Monday's hiring of Mike Mayock as the new general manager. Vic Tafur and Jimmy Durkin discuss that move and what it means going forward for Gruden and the Raiders.&nbsp;

One of the Raiders' big weeks of the offseason is in the books after Jon Gruden and his staff coached the Senior Bowl last week. Vic Tafur and Ted Nguyen were both in Mobile, Ala., for it and joined Jimmy Durkin to offer their impressions. They also discuss the Raiders' home for 2019, Derek Carr's proposed UFC fight, the Super Bowl and more.&nbsp;

Vic Tafur is freshly back from the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis and joined Jimmy Durkin to discuss everything he learned during his stay in Indy. The key points: the buzz around Kyler Murray at No. 1 and how that impacts the Raiders, what it would take to trade for Antonio Brown, the winners and losers at the combine. All that, plus plenty of your mailbag questions.&nbsp;

How Kyler Murray affects the Raiders draft, the Antonio Brown trade scenarios and combine winners and losers

The Raiders made their big splash over the weekend with the trade for star wide receiver Antonio Brown, only surrendering a third- and a fifth-round pick. Then they accentuated it with free agent deals for OT Trent Brown and S Lamarcus Joyner, plus a reported deal for WR Tyrell Williams. It's enough to create legitimate excitement and maybe even make them a fringe playoff contender. Vic Tafur and Jimmy Durkin discuss it all.&nbsp;
