Undrafted rookie QB Matt McGloin is receiving third-team reps ahead of fourth-round pick Tyler Wilson.
McGloin lacks NFL starting-caliber talent, but made some noise in OTAs and is ahead of more heralded Wilson mentally. "I've seen a smart, composed guy that throws the ball accurately, makes good decisions, goes to the right place with the ball," coach Dennis Allen observed of McGloin. "He understands protections. And really that's where he's kind of separated himself from Tyler."

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported on NFL 32 that undrafted rookie QB Matt McGloin has made a "huge impression" on Raiders brass at OTAs and is a candidate to climb the depth chart.
"He's actually made a huge impression in the first two weeks of OTAs, to the point where he's pushing Tyler Wilson and Terrelle Pryor," said Mort. "So watch out for Matt McGloin to climb up the depth chart if he continues this." It's a nice story, but probably just confirmation that the Raiders don't have a franchise quarterback on their roster more than anything. The fact that Wilson was pushing Flynn early, and now Wilson and Pryor are failing to separate from Penn State alum McGloin is a huge red flag on their talent.
