Do the Raiders have enough talent at DT?

Bilal Nichols: Bilal Nichols may be the biggest name in terms of the Raiders group at defensive tackle, but I do not believe his roster spot is safe this summer.

Jerry Tillery: A former first-round pick, Jerry Tillery came to the Raiders during the 2022 regular season, and the team rewarded him with a new deal this summer. Big expectations for Tillery in 2023.

Neil Farrell Jr.: Second-year player Neil Farrell Jr. is someone to be excited about, as he could have a breakout season in 2023. After a so-so rookie campaign, I like Farrell to make his mark in Year 2.

Matthew Butler: Another second-year player, Matthew Butler is another guy who had a solid offseason for the Raiders. If he and Farrell can step up in Year 2, it significantly improves this group as a whole.

John Jenkins: Veteran John Jenkins is certain to push for a roster spot this summer, and after appearing in 16 games for Miami last season, the journeyman may have found a home in Las Vegas.

Kyle Peko: The Raiders brought in Kyle Peko this past week, bringing him back after an eight-game run with the team in 2022. The veteran brings depth and talent to the position and will battle with the younger players for a spot n the roster.

Adam Butler: Adam Butler is another former member of the New England Patriots that is battling for a roster spot this summer. He missed all of last year after failing a physical with the Miami Dolphins.

Byron Young: The Raiders third-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Byron Young is a talented player but is currently on the injured list to start his NFL career. Keep an eye on when he gets back.

Nesta Jade Silvera: The Raiders seventh-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Nesta Jade Silvera should get some opportunity this summer, but will likely start his NFL career on the team's practice duad.
