NAPA, Calif. (AP) — Jared Goff hoped the Los Angeles Rams would be much crisper in their first joint practice with the Oakland Raiders than they were last week against the Chargers.
NAPA, Calif. (AP) — Gareon Conley hasn't been shy about asking for help as he attempts to cement his spot as the Oakland Raiders' top cornerback.
ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — Gareon Conley is ready for a fresh start.
The 2017 first-round pick who was expected to become the shutdown cornerback Oakland has lacked for years had his first season derailed by injuries that limited him to just two games as a rookie and created a void in the Raiders secondary.
ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — The approach Oakland Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie takes into the NFL draft is no different with Jon Gruden as coach than it was in previous years with Jack Del Rio and Dennis Allen at the helm.
"The board will still be doing the talking," McKenzie said. "It really will."
Trusting the board paid off handsomely back in 2014 when Oakland ended up with 2016 Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Mack and starting quarterback Derek Carr with its top two picks.
ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — Smart draft picks by general manager Reggie McKenzie were the key for the Oakland Raiders' transformation from a team that failed to produce a winning record for 13 years to one that won 12 games a year ago and was considered a top contender in the AFC this season.
A lack of contributions from the past two draft classes are a major reason why the Raiders (4-5) have been a major disappointment this season and head into their bye week barely holding on to playoff hopes.
ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — The Oakland Raiders finally got their first-round draft pick on the practice field when cornerback Gareon Conley passed his physical and was taken off the physically unable to perform list Tuesday.

NAPA, Calif. (AP) — On Oakland's opening day of training camp practice, there was more focus on who wasn't on the field than who was playing for the Raiders.
Pro Bowl left tackle Donald Penn was a camp holdout Saturday because of a contract dispute and five other players, including first-round pick Gareon Conley, were placed on injured lists and aren't able to practice.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — With defensive studs everywhere in this draft, NFL teams turned offensive. With an emphasis on quarterbacks.
Hardly stunning in a pass-happy league, except that no quarterbacks in this crop have been highly touted. Yet three went in the first dozen Thursday night, with two surprising trades putting the Bears and Chiefs in position to grab QBs.
CLEVELAND (AP) — An attorney for former Ohio State star Gareon Conley says the NFL prospect plans to meet with detectives and give a DNA sample after the NFL draft to counter accusations that he raped a woman earlier this month.

A Cleveland police report released Tuesday says the 23-year-old woman told officers that Conley sexually assaulted her in the bathroom of a hotel room.
