This offseason, the Las Vegas Raiders added a handful of rookies who are expected to make a big impact during the season, but which players will be the most important?
The Las Vegas Raiders have been busy retooling their roster this offseason. It started in Free Agency when the organization shelled out some cash for a few of the biggest names on the market. Then, general manager Mike Mayock and head coach Jon Gruden went on to add seven players through the draft, the majority of whom will be significant contributors during the regular season.
Out of all the rookies, there are about three or four who have a legitimate chance to be Week One starters this season. The rest of the group still projects to play significant roles for the Silver and Black in 2020, meaning the team will be relying on a lot of young talent.
With so many newcomers at the helm, it begs the question of which ones are the most important?
Of course, every player on the roster is important and this isn’t too say that the others are insignificant, but some rookies will bear more weight on their shoulders than others. Here is a look at who I think the Raiders’ three most important rookies will be this season, ranked in order.
