Las Vegas Raiders: Grading offensive free agent additions

The Las Vegas Raiders needed to retool their offense after a great 2020 and here are the grades for their offensive free-agent additions.

The Las Vegas Raiders had one of the better offenses in the NFL last season by most statistical measures. The Raiders finished 10th in total points, 8th in yards, and were 6th and 3rd in conversions on 3rd and 4th down respectively.

They did so behind a 7th ranked passing offense and 14th ranked rushing offense that thrived off the play of Derek Carr protected by a solid offensive line. That same offensive line was missing key starters for most of the year and has been the talk of the Raiders offseason so far as 3 of the 5 starters from Week 1 are no longer part of the team.

Other key contributors from 2020 such as Nelson Agholor and Devontae Booker have moved on to other teams after one-year deals were up and they proved they can still play at a high level in the NFL. The Raiders were suddenly tasked with replacing more than half of their offensive line and two players that combined for 1,400 scrimmage yards and 11 touchdowns.

They have done an admirable job so far in free agency and there will be surely more to come but here are the grades for the moves they have made in week one of free agency.
