Projecting the Raiders 53-man roster after minicamp

With mandatory minicamp in the rearview mirror, we take a look at what the 53-man roster could look like as the Raiders enter Week 1 in September.

The Oakland Raiders have been working through their first offseason with head coach Jon Gruden back at the controls, and things have looked pretty good up until this point. Sure, star defensive end Khalil Mack has yet to join his teammates, but you have to think he will be ready to go when the team starts training camp in July.

For the rest of the roster,  there has been a lot of learning going on, and while it currently sits at 90, the team will eventually be whittled down to 53. There is going to be a lot of questions that have to be answered before Week 1, and looking at the 90-man roster, some very good players are going to find themselves cut.

Prior to OTAs and minicamp, we took a look at what the 53-man roster could look like for week one, and while it is only a couple weeks ago, things change in a hurry in the NFL. Our latest 53-man roster has a bunch of changes, and that is because the team  has finally gotten together on the field, and we are seeing who is fitting in where.

The bottom line is, this team went 6-10 last year, and with a new regime in place, things were bound to change. The players have been saying all along that this offseason has a different feel to it, and you can thank coach Gruden for that.

As we look towards the July training camp, let us take a look at what the 53-man roster could look like come September.
