While the Raiders have a strong core of top talent, it’s clear that new leaders in general manager Dave Ziegler and Josh McDaniels want their own youth. All six Raiders draft picks made the roster, as did four undrafted free agents, linebackers Darien Butler and Luke Masterson, cornerback Sam Webb and safety Isaiah Pola-Mao. It was perhaps the biggest surprise in the starting 53. Butler and Pola-Mao benefited from familiarity. Butler was at Arizona State with new Raiders linebackers coach Antonio Pearce, and Pola-Mao is the great nephew of Raiders running backs coach Kennedy Polamalu.
The Raiders have eight offensive linemen, and third-round pick Dylan Parham is likely the backup at both center and guard. I would expect this unit is still a work in progress as far as roster spots go.
The Raiders kept six running backs, including fullback Jakob Johnson. Seventh-round pick Brittain Brown was retained at tailback after a strong preseason. Starter Josh Jacobs is the lone returner from last year’s six-man squad. Las Vegas kept five wide receivers with free agent Keelan Cole released, something we all saw coming when he played in the fourth quarter of the final preseason game. Tyron Johnson and DJ Turner are the fourth and fifth receivers and should be part of the mix on special teams.
The Raiders have six defensive tackles on the roster — Bilal Nichols, Johnathan Hankins, Andrew Billings, Kendal Vickers and draft picks Neil Farrell and Matthew Butler. It will be interesting to see how the rotation of the game plays out. While Ziegler and McDaniels committed to 10 rookies, they cut several veteran signings this offseason, including Cole, Demarcus Robinson, Vernon Butler, Kenny Young, Alex Bars, Hroniss Grasu, Darius Phillips and Kyle Peko. As expected, running back Tashawn Bower made the roster after four sacks in the preseason. As expected, the Raiders only kept Jarrett Stidham behind starting quarterback Derek Carr. Undrafted rookie Chase Garbers is likely headed to the practice squad. What’s next? All waived players will be available for claim on Wednesday. The Raiders have the 22nd highest waiver priority (and the 10th lowest). Released players (veterans) can be signed at any time. The Raiders can also begin adding to their practice squad on Wednesday as well. So expect another busy day.
