Hired Pagano from the Chargers, Mario Edwards Jr, one of the best edge set DE's in the NFL is now back after missing the entire 2016- Raiders got a top 10 CB at 24 in Gareon Conley, drafted UConn's Obi Melifonwu one of the tallest, fastest safeties in the NFL to strictly cover TE's like Kelce etc- Karl Joseph is back after a terrific rookie year after missing some games last year. A safety Ronnie Lott just said will be one of the best safeties in a couple years.. thats not me saying it but Ronnie Lott- Drafted DT Eddie Vanderoes to replace a Dan Williams who was complete ass last year. Denico Autry has his cast off now- last year dude had to play with a club on one of his hands-

So many things have changed...

With the addition of Jared Cook, and signing the best return guy in the NFL that should set the Raiders in good field position on returns and signing BeastMode.. this Raiders offense was potent last year- it's even more potent now..-In fact it's so loaded it's almost criminal-

There's no team in the AFC other than the Pats that can hang offensively with Oakland- NONE

With the vast improvement on defense along with the new offensive weapons its gonna make the Raiders a top 10 defense-

You will know this to be true here soon enough-

I thought this thread was maybe you getting some balls and actually getting on an airplane to watch your team live?
