I wouldn't have faith in Gruden picking a guy. Can't forget this coach has a track record doing some very questionable things with his offense. Giving up on the running game was a big problem in Cincy, and Gruden still hasn't learned.

He came to a team that struggled at pass protection in front of a developing QB who's been through the ringer, but that same line excelled at run blocking and we have a bruiser back. I would have committed to the run to set up play action pass to these great receivers. Gruden forced a lot of mid range passes, not RG's strength to begin with, and we see a lot of lousy run plays. And Gruden clearly doesn't demand his perimeter players block.
I just don't see anything in his playbook or leadership that merits a pro HC job.
