A trade up to one of the top-three picks is a potential option for the Raiders, who are projected to take that path in CBS Sports' new mock draft from Chris Trapasso . Trapasso projects Carroll's Raiders to trade with the Browns for the No. 2 pick and select Colorado star quarterback Shedeur Sanders .

It was reported Wednesday that Las Vegas Raiders minority owner Tom Brady had "zero interest in hiring" Bill Belichick as the club's next head coach even though the two spoke at some point after Belichick became the head coach of the North Carolina football program and before Las Vegas hired Pete Carroll.

Carroll's energy is known and obvious, but he cranked it up a notch while taking on the challenge of coaching the Las Vegas Raiders.
