With minicamp officially in the books, we take a look at the five biggest questions concerning the Oakland Raiders this summer.

Starting on Tuesday, the Oakland Raiders were scheduled to hold a three-day Mandatory Minicamp. While the team did practice on Tuesday and Wednesday, the organization decided to end things right there, and we will now have to wait until the squad shows up for training camp before we see more Raiders football.

This is going to be a very exciting summer for sure, and HBO certainly thinks so, as the team was picked to be on Hard Knocks this season. That show will give the fans an in-depth look at the team all summer long, as the coverage of the show kicks off on August 6.

Looking ahead to training camp, there are plenty of questions to be answered on both sides of the ball, which will make for intriguing position battles all over this roster. Some veterans will have to fight to keep their jobs, while some of the younger players continue to show that they will be the building blocks of this franchise moving forward.

Here are the five biggest questions surrounding the Raiders heading into the summer.
