Raiders: 3 areas of concern that still linger entering 2022 training camp
Offensive Line
We get the big one out of the way first, as the Raiders still have pressing concerns when it comes to their offensive line. Sure, Alex Leatherwood has had a strong offseason, and the hope is that the former first-round pick can figure it out in Year 2, but that is a big question mark heading into July.
The truth is, the Raiders did a tremendous job bolstering the skill position groups on the offensive side of the ball, adding a star in wide receiver Davante Adams, as well as depth at running back. However, the offensive line did not see a tremendous influx of talent, and for a group that struggled in a big way in 2021, that is concerning.
Las Vegas has over $20 million in cap space to still work with according to spotrac.com, and there are players available that can help them right away. If they can bolster this offensive line, and get protection for Derek Carr in 2022, there is no reason why this cannot be a top-5 offense in the league.
