Las Vegas Raiders: 3 position groups that could go from a question to a strength

Offensive Line

The Las Vegas Raiders have revamped their offensive line this offseason, and while some feel it was unnecessary, considered the amount of talent they had under contract, what is done is done. Now, the offensive line is in a state of change, and according to Pro Football Focus, it will be one of the worst units in football this season.

While replacing Rodney Hudson, Gabe Jackson, and Trent Brown is a tall task, the Raiders may end up being able to do it in Year 1. They added Alex Leatherwood at right tackle in the first round, taking over Brown’s spot, and Denzelle Good is more than capable of replacing Jackson at one of the offensive guard spots.

Replacing Hudson is impossible, so Andre James has a tall task ahead of him, but the team does return Richie Incognito and Kolton Miller, two of the top players at their respective positions. Tom Cable has done wonders with less, and by the time the seasons rolls around, the offensive line will not be a question anymore, but more of a strength down the stretch.
