Does Las Vegas Raiders’ roster have Top 5 defensive tackle in AFC West?
Defensive tackle is one of the weakest position groups on the Las Vegas Raiders’ roster heading into the 2026 season, begging the question of whether the Raiders have a Top 5 interior defender in the AFC West. What gives Las Vegas hope is that the Denver Broncos’, Kansas City Chiefs’ and Los Angeles Chargers’ rosters […]
2022 Las Vegas Raiders Same Position Re-Draft
The Raiders 2022 draft class could have been a lot better, but that also seems to be the running theme in general here. The Raiders shipped off their first and second round selections for Davante Adams, and then they shipped him off a few years late. The first class for “new” GM Dave Ziegler and […]

There is no apparent future for the 2023 fourth-round pick with the franchise. The long-term future, of course, is No. 1 overall pick, […]
