The Las Vegas Raiders have a lot of work to do in terms of the roster this offseason, as the 2020 campaign was another one that saw them get out to a fast start, and then falter down the stretch. There are pieces in place for next season, mostly on the offensive side of the ball, but the defense has a long way to go.
This offseason, the Raiders have added defensive coordinator Gus Bradley, and that should breathe new life into the defense. That is a unit that just was not good enough last season on all three levels, as they struggled to get pressure up front, the linebackers always seemed out of place, and the secondary was atrocious at times.
If the Raiders are to do anything next season, a year that has to be playoffs-or-bust for this current regime, they need to hit a home run in the draft. The Senior Bowl will take place next weekend, and you can be sure that Mike Mayock and Jon Gruden are going to be all over it.
Here are five players to keep an eye on during the Senior Bowl next week.
