Conclusion

These six players could come in a make an impact on the team this season, as the Raiders look to establish themselves as a player in the AFC. I’d rather see the Raiders front office trade for a defensive player, or A.J. Green, but these six are solid options.

The defense, with Burfict and Abrams out, needs more help than the offense does right now. Yes, the offense struggled over the past month in two games, but that was mainly due to playing the best team in the AFC one week, and then having to hit the road to take on a very good Minnesota Vikings defense in their building the next.

The NFL is a tough league to make good deals in and the Raiders could have a chance to improve their team with these trades. Remember, the Raiders have two first round picks next April, and if they can swing a deal to bring in one of these talented players with a later round pick,  the roster will continue to trend in the right direction.
