Raiders adding proven pieces, not rolling the dice any longer

Raiders adding proven pieces, not rolling the dice any longer

Trade for Davante, Sign Chandler

The two big moves the Raiders made are going to make this team a lot better on both sides of the ball, as Adams becomes the WR1 this team has been lacking, and Chandler Jones makes the Raiders pass rush very dangerous. They had to trade away Yannick Ngakoue after bringing in Jones, but this is an upgrade, and they were able to get a quality cornerback in Rock Ya-Sin in the process as well.

Outside of these two guys, the Raiders have been stacking proven talent in guys like Brandon Bolden, Anthony Averett, and Bilal Nichols. All three of those guys fill a need in Las Vegas, and all three of them have succeeded at the NFL level, so there should be no surprises as to what they can bring to the table.
