The Las Vegas Raiders took care of business against Seattle in preseason game No. 1, and here is a 53-man prediction after the victory.

In Week 1 of the NFL preseason, very few starters for the Las Vegas Raiders played against the Seattle Seahawks. This gave many of the young or unproven players a chance to make an impact on the team.

Most gave their all in the hopes that they impress the Las Vegas brass enough to get a spot on the 53-man roster. Obviously, though, not all will make it. Against Seattle, there were plenty of bright spots, including some undrafted players that should make some noise in terms of the cutdowns this week, and after the third preseason game.

Las Vegas looked a lot deeper on both sides of the ball, and that competition is going to bleed into the front office having to make tough decisions in terms of this roster. For the Raiders, that is a great problem to have.

With that in mind, here is the updated prediction for the Las Vegas 53-man roster now that the first preseason game is in the books.
