2018 Raiders: Early look at the Raiders potential 53-man roster for Week 1

Although it is still very early in the offseason, let us take a look at what the Raiders 53-man roster could look like if the season started today.

The Oakland Raiders have been pretty active this offseason, bringing in new faces from their head coach, all the way down to the special teams players. With their 6-10 2017 campaign in the rearview mirror, the team has been hard at work trying to get better every day.

Jon Gruden is once again steering the ship, and he has brought a completely different mindset into the organization. Free agents were enamored with him during the interview process, and he was a big reason why the team was able to get so many to sign on the dotted line.

In the 2018 NFL Draft, the Raiders drafted nine new members of the Silver and Black, including two offensive tackles, two defensive tackles, and a cornerback. Some of those players are going to get a chance to play right away at the next level, and the team actually got some steals late in the draft.

As we take a look at the roster, there is a lot of work to be done. Gruden brought in a lot of veteran players, who will have to prove they still have enough to compete at the NFL level. In addition, rookies are going to be pushing veterans from last year’s team, so it should be an interesting summer.

Let us take a look at what the 53-man roster could look like if Week 1 kicked off tomorrow.
