Official Roster Cuts

Colt Brennan - As expected. He was just a camp arm.

Jay Richardson - A bit surprising, but with injury he wasn't spectacular.

Shaun Bodiford - Looks better in the final preseason game, but group was too big and he didn't make enough plays.

Luke Lawton - Loud mouth, suspended. Could have kept him for free for two weeks, but not worth the hassle.

Todd Watkins - Raiders got younger. I liked Watkins, but I'm guessing the Raiders could probably bring him back if any of the receivers don't work out.

John Owens - Only two tight ends and Myers gets the nod despite recent struggles.

Manase Tonga - Practice Squad potential

Chris Morris - Surprising to me unless Satele earned starting role back.

Alex Parsons - Practice squad potential.

Brandon Rodd - Not good enough.

Greyson Gunheim - On this list every year it seems like.

Alex Daniels - Practice squad potential.

Kellen Heard - Practice squad potential.

William Joseph - Raiders finally found some better interior players.

Chris Cooper - Was sleeper many people had making roster. He could find a home elsewhere potentially or on practice squad.

David Nixon - Practice squad potential.

Slade Norris - Practice squad potential.

Joe Porter - Couldn't make the team despite thin group.

Joey Thomas - Couldn't make the team despite thin group.

Jerome Boyd - Team couldn't keep six, practice squad potential.

Swayze Waters - Did enough that the Raiders may call if a kicker goes down due to injury.

Raiders need to make one more cut to get under the 53 man maximum.

Oakland Raiders Swing for the Fences in 2016 NFL Draft

[embed align="center"]http://gty.im/153039819[/embed] These aren't your daddy's Oakland Raiders or even your younger self's Raiders. If anything, these are your newborn's Raiders or your puppy's Raiders. These are the Raiders we've never seen before. Indicative of the freshness of the franchise was their 2016 NFL Draft. No longer slave to a high draft pick and desperate needs, the theme of the draft for the Raiders was upside. It's as if general manager Reggie McKenzie got so used to hitting his draft picks out of the park that he started swinging for the fences. We'll have to wait a couple of years before we know if he struck out or if he'll continue his Ruthian ways. First, McKenzie boldly went with a safety at No. 14 overall. Kyle Joseph is coming off a torn ACL and fills a major need, but safety isn't a premium position. Only a handful of safeties have been drafted in the first 14 picks in the last 15 years and include names like Ea...

Oakland Raiders' Studs and Duds From Preseason Week 1

[embed]http://gty.im/484069738[/embed] The Oakland Raiders finally look like a competitive football team again. That should be the biggest takeaway from their preseason rout of the St. Louis Rams. Quarterback Derek Carr and the offense looked significantly improved from a year ago, thanks in large part to some of the studs listed below. The starting defense was still a little shaky, but there were still a few bright spots. Overall, the Raiders can feel good about their first live action of the year, especially since there appeared to be no significant injuries to come out of it. Studs Rodney Hudson Of all general manager Reggie McKenzie's offseason acquisitions, he committed the most money to center Rodney Hudson. Offensive linemen rarely get the praise they deserve, but a great offensive line as anchored in the middle can be huge for an offense. Hudson was very solid in his debut against a very good defensive front. If Hudson and the offensive line can consistently protect Carr an...

Preseason Week 1 Players to Peruse

[embed]http://gty.im/459756040[/embed] The Oakland Raiders season officially kicks off Friday night. Unfortunately, it's preseason. Fortunately, there are still plenty of things to watch. It seems like this every year, but this truly is one of the most interesting Raiders teams in years. For starters, there is a lot of young talent. Unlike past years, there is also plenty of veteran talent that isn't over 30. While all eyes will be on first-round pick Amari Cooper, there are at least a half-dozen other players Raiders fans should keep a close eye on during the game. D.J. Hayden He hasn't been able to stay healthy, nor has he been particularly awesome when he is healthy, but cornerback D.J. Hayden still has a lot of talent. General manager Reggie McKenzie will take his lumps if Hayden doesn't pan out this year, but more importantly the Raiders will also be dangerously thin at cornerback. The Raiders need Hayden to solid, even if he doesn't live up to the potential he...
