Oakland Raiders top 6 acquisitions during 2018 offseason

The Oakland Raiders revamped their roster during the 2018 offseason, and head into minicamps with a ton of brand new faces wearing the Silver and Black.

Coming off a 6-10 season, the Oakland Raiders knew they needed some wholesale changes within the organization. It started at the top, where head coach Jack Del Rio and the rest of his staff were shown the door after a disappointing run in 2017.

With Del Rio and his staff gone, the Raiders turned their attention to grabbing a new head coach. They reached back into the future, bringing back Jon Gruden to run the ship, as he came out of retirement to coach the team who he led to the playoffs back in 2001.

The changes could not stop there, as Gruden came in and started to rebuild the roster from the ground up. Sure, there are the elite stars like Derek Carr, Khalil Mack, and Amari Cooper on this roster, but the amount of holes along both sides of the ball were alarming.

With little salary cap space, and 11 draft picks heading into the 2018 NFL Draft, general manager Reggie McKenzie knew his task was great. He did a great job bringing in a lot of talent via free agency, as the allure of playing for Coach Gruden was just too much for some players to pass up.

Although those 11 picks shrunk to nine by the time the draft finished up, the Raiders also brought in some good players to fight for jobs as rookies.

We take a look at 6 acquisitions that should be considered the best of the Raiders offseason so far.
