The Las Vegas Raiders have everything they need to be a top-5 offense in 2022, but can the offensive line hold up for them to be just that?

When you look at the 2022 roster for the Las Vegas Raiders, it is clear that the offense could be something special. Not only do they have a wide assortment of running backs, but they also have arguably the best slot wide receiver, outside wide receiver, and tight end in the game.

They also have a quarterback going into his ninth season as a starter, and a player who led this team to the playoffs last season despite so many off-the-field issues. The hope in 2022 is that the Raiders can avoid any unnecessary distractions, put their heads down, and go out and win a very tough AFC West division.

Of course, the real issue with this franchise for years has been the defense, but the new regime of Josh McDaniels and David Ziegler went out and revamped that group as well. However, when you think about this Raiders offense, you have to like their chances of being one of the best in the NFL, especially with how many weapons Derek Carr has at his disposal.

When all is said and done, they could be a top-5 unit in the NFL.
