    Raiders make some moves on offense.

    FB Connor Heyward
    WR Dareke Young

    Kubiak likes FBs, and Heyward is a TE/FB hybrid who is the son of Craig "Ironhead" Heyward. Dareke Young is a ridiculous athlete who played mostly on special teams. I was reading fan reactions from Seattle. They genuinely seemed to love the guy and wish him well with an opportunity to get more WR reps.

    Raiders brought back Thomas Booker officially. He wasn't very effective last season, but he ate up snaps. They also signed Spencer Burford, the 49th-rated OG at PFF last season. That could be a big win for the Raiders.

    Offense: Need a QB, could use a legit backup RB, and it's hard to have too much depth on the OL (But this is a distant issue)
    Defense: not sure about our DTs, could use a LB prospect and some depth at DB

    Squad still in a formative stage. Putting the pieces together. I like it so far with the new additions.
