The Las Vegas Raiders made their final moves to get down to 53 players, and here are three players who should still be with the team.

Cut-down day is always the toughest part of the offseason for coaches and players alike. Dreams that players have had their entire lives could end in a flash and careers could be over before some veterans are ready for them to end.

The players on the Las Vegas Raiders are not exempt from this drama, and the team had to make some tough decisions to come to their final 53-man roster before Week 1.

The fact that there were some tough decisions to make is a good sign for the Raiders, as having an excess of talent and having to choose between several capable players is a sign of a talented roster. In the case of the Raiders, as we have discussed all summer, many of the key positions are already spoken for and much of the competition was at the back end of the roster.

Even though these spots were at the lower end of the depth chart, it is those players that often make the difference over the course of the season. The Raiders were forced to let go of some talented players and here are three that they should have kept on the active roster.
