Where do new Las Vegas Raiders linebackers Nakobe Dean, Quay Walker rank in AFC West?
Last season, the Las Vegas Raiders’ roster had a glaring weakness at linebacker, hence the signing of veterans Nakobe Dean and Quay Walker during free agency. The Raiders shelled out over $75 million in total contract value between those two to fix the defense’s problem, but is that enough for the defense to have a […]
2025 Las Vegas Raiders Same Position Re-Draft
The Raiders 2025 draft class only has played one season, so identifying which players could or could not be replaced here is a little bit different than my previous editions. Players have either under, or over performed and plenty of players are still developing after being selected as pure developmental prospects. Ashton Jeanty is a […]
Fans are split on Jack Bech expectations
One of the more interesting players to watch on the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2026 roster will be second-year wide receiver Jack Bech. The 2025 second-round pick had an up-and-down rookie season and frankly, it was probably more disappointing than anything. He had just 20 catches for 224 yards all season. Yet, the Raiders’ leadership have […]
Raiders fans would love to add Vita Vea
Vita Vea wearing the Silver and Black? Yes, please. That’s the sentiment of the Las Vegas Raiders’ fan base. We recently asked our readers would they want the Raiders to pursue Vea, the star defensive tackle of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a recent post. The results were overwhelmingly in favor of the idea. That […]
Remembering a special season by Maxx Crosby
The Las Vegas Raiders’ 2021 season was unforgettable for so many reasons. Perhaps lost in the chaos of the Jon Gruden email scandal and Henry Ruggs arrest and release was a historic on-field performance by then third-year pass-rusher Maxx Crosby. He was simply brilliant, especially when it counted. A recent X post by NFL researcher […]

Would Maxx Crosby-George Pickens trade make sense for Las Vegas Raiders, Dallas Cowboys?
The Maxx Crosby trade rumors haven’t stopped, as he’s clearly the hottest commodity on the Las Vegas Raiders’ roster heading into training camp. Of course, being in the “slow news period” of the NFL calendar leads to a lot of hypothetical trades that don’t mean much. But the one below that was proposed by 105.3 […]
2024 Las Vegas Raiders Same Position Re-Draft
The first class for general manager Tom Telesco and head coach Antonio Pierce, would turn out to be their only draft at the helm of the Raiders as well. The class has started to build rather deep roots for the Raiders, with good talent in the first three rounds and a few picks later on, […]
Major celebrity golf tournament will have Raiders’ flavor
If you need a Raiders’ fix before the team begins raining camp in a few weeks, this is your chance. There will be a big Las Vegas Raiders’ presence at the The American Century Championship in South Lake Tahoe, Nevada at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course. It runs Wednesday thru Sunday, including practice rounds. It is […]
Would you be in favor of a Justin Jefferson trade?
Yes, it’s the dead period for the NFL, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t anything to talk about. Recently, CBS Sports had a hypothetical trade proposal, sending Minnesota Vikings star wide receiver Justin Jefferson to the Las Vegas Raiders for a first and third round pick. The proposal states Jefferson will seek to leave Minnesota […]
David Carr got inside info on Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza
The Las Vegas Raiders revamped the quarterback room in 2026, adding Kirk Cousins and drafting Fernando Mendoza. Mendoza is the hope for Raider Nation, as he aims to turn around the franchise after years of losing. Of course, fans want an update on his success and how quickly he can develop. On the Carr brothers’ […]

Benito Jones helps, but Raiders’ long-term nose tackle plan is a concern
Weighing in at 335 pounds, Benito Jones is one of the heaviest players on the Las Vegas Raiders roster. And that’s a good thing. The 6-foot-1 defensive tackle provides the requisite mass to both draw attention from multiple blockers and be a run-stuffing presence in the middle of the Silver & Black defensive line as […]
Writing might be on the wall for Raiders WR Dont’e Thornton
The Las Vegas drafted two wide receivers last season who got a chance to see the field in 2025. Fourth-round pick Donte Thornton Jr. got to see the field the most, but his lack of production led to him falling down the depth chart by the end of the season. Thornton Jr. was always a […]
Mailbag: Which wide receiver on Las Vegas Raiders’ roster will break out this season?
Let’s kick off this week’s Las Vegas Raiders mailbag with a big happy birthday to the United States of America and Al Davis! I hope everyone has a great day celebrating with their friends and family, but first, we have to answer some questions about the Raiders’ roster! Nunchucks Hey Matt!…Which WR do you think […]
Happy Birthday, Al
The great, late Al Davis was born 97 years ago today. Happy birthday, legend, and Happy 4th of July to all.
Reserve, sub package role likely best route for Raiders’ Isaiah Pola-Mao
There was only one defender that had more snaps for the Las Vegas Raiders defense than safety Isaiah Pola-Mao. That was linebacker Devin White at 1,118 snaps in 2025 and that total accounts for nearly 100 percent (99.38 percent to be exact) of the team’s defensive snaps last season. Pola-Mao, in comparison, notched 1,081 snaps […]
2023 Las Vegas Raiders Same Position Re-Draft
The 2023 draft class, Dave Ziegler’s and Josh McDaniels first class with a full season of preparation, and the second class I was able to predict their first round pick (thankfully I stopped being able to do that after this season). The class features a few players still on the roster as is, and a […]
Has Nik Bonitto overtaken Maxx Crosby as best edge defender in AFC West?
We’re on the defensive side of the ball in Silver and Black Pride’s AFC West position rankings, starting with arguably the most important spot when it comes to keeping points off the board: edge defender. Despite finishing in last place over the last two seasons, this is one position group where the Las Vegas Raiders’ […]
Raiders are confident Darien Porter will make the leap in 2026
The Las Vegas Raiders are to deploy one of the younger defenses in years. In 2024, they drafted players like Darien Porter and Tonka Hemingway. For the 2026 NFL draft, it became a focus as they added Treydan Stukes, Keyron Crawford, and Jermod McCoy. If the Raiders could hit on these picks, it could lead […]

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 […]
Fernando Mendoza versus UCLA, Part VIII of Las Vegas Raiders’ Mendoza Mania
We’re at the halfway point of Silver and Black Pride’s Mendoza Mania series, breaking down the film on every game of Fernando Mendoza’s final College Football season at Indiana, diving into his eighth contest of the year with a matchup against UCLA. This certainly wasn’t the No. 1 pick of the 2026 NFL draft’s best […]
