The Las Vegas Raiders had a bust first wave of free agency and their roster seems like is headed in the right direction.

We used that as a jumping off point for our Tuesday Community Question this week as we asked how are you currently feeling about the roster?

The general feeling is, apparently, very positive. Here are some of your responses:

Nunchucks
The Offensive line has definitely improved, especially with a proven coaching staff that will have a great scheme, have the right players for it and the ability to get everyone on the same page…LT Miller, LG JPJ, C Linderbaum, RG Burford, RT Grant…Oline depth: LG Meredith, RG Rogers RT DJ Glaze…With QB Mendoza and a solid running game with Jeanty, new RB 2, FB Heyward …It will open up a lot of opportunities in play action with Bowers, Nailor, Jeanty, Mayer, Bech and Tucker…On Defense, this will be the absolute best LB corps the Raiders have had in decades…Crosby, Walker, Dean, Paye…along with a massive NT in there…There ability to stop the run will be a huge improvement for the team and the wins will start to pile up….Biggest needs are NT, S, CB and WR 1…4 huge holes to fill with 11 draft picks, UDFA’S, and final roster cuts when good veteran players become available right before the season starts…The Raiders will be a great team in the next few years, but if everything goes right, they can start winning now…They will definitely be entertaining to watch this coming season…LFG!!!

The squad? So far I expect improvement at
QB
WR (slightly)
OL
DL (esp if we get a NT)
LB

So far treading water at
TE
CB
S
RB

Haven’t regressed anywhere except maybe placekicker.

The only real strengths are at TE and DL.

In other words: 10-6 wildcard berth incoming! lol.

If they draft well this squad looks to be the best we’ve had in years.
Speaking of drafting well…we’ve drafted 3 QB’s in the first round since the team’s inception.

Marc Wilson
Todd Marinovich
JaMarcus Russell

I’m feeling very positive about the coaching staff and the overall direction of the team. As far as the roster goes, I’d say I’m hopeful, but we’ve been down this road many times before, so for me, I need to see real progress on the field.

What I want most is a well-coached, well-prepared team that won’t get outcoached by the Reids, Harbaughs, and McVays of the NFL. I’m not expecting a playoff berth this year, although that would be great, but I do expect to see signs of a professionally run franchise/team.

No more yearly drama, no more chaos. Just solid, tough football, smart decisions, and steady improvement. That’s what this team has been missing for far too long.

Hoping for stability and optimistic. Need to draft well from now on.
