The Raiders continued their efforts to upgrade their pass rush this afternoon, trading one of their fifth round selections to Jacksonville to acquire defensive end Quintin Groves.

The news was first reported by Groves himself this afternoon on his Twitter account, telling his fans he was on his way to Oakland. It was confirmed a short while afterward by multiple sources.

Groves was a second round pick by the Jaguars in 2008, but failed to live up to expectations during his tenure in Jacksonville, notching just 43 tackles and 2.5 sacks in two seasons.
