3 things the Las Vegas Raiders would like to find in their Easter baskets

The Las Vegas Raiders have issues to address as we inch closer to the 2021 NFL Draft, and here are three things they would like to find in their Easter basket.

Today is Easter Sunday, and with a few weeks before the 2021 NFL Draft, the Las Vegas Raiders still have issues on both sides of the ball. Sure, they have done a nice job adding talent via free agency, but they have also traded away sixty percent of their starting offensive line from a year ago, and have yet to address the secondary.

Staying in the holiday spirit, we take a look at three things they would like to find in their Easter Basket.

An improved defense

Last season, the Raiders were able to move the ball efficiently on offense, as they had a 1,000-yard receiver in tight end Darren Waller, a 1,000-yard running back in Josh Jacobs, and Derek Carr threw for over 4,000 yards once again. The problem was, the defense could not get stops, and that led to the Raiders being one of the worst teams in football on that side of the ball.

This offseason, Las Vegas has improved along the defensive line and seems to be set at linebacker if Cory Littleton improves, and Nicholas Morrow continues to take a step in the right direction. New defensive coordinator Gus Bradley is known for his prowess in the secondary, an area the team has neglected in free agency, and will likely attack during the draft.

If the Raiders can improve on that side of the ball, they should finally get their record over .500 in 2021.
