Don't look now, but the Las Vegas Raiders are slowly putting together the pieces of what could be a solid defense this upcoming season. While that may sound like blasphemy to some, the fact is, the Raiders got better on all three levels of their defense this offseason, and it will show on the field in 2020.
In the 2018 NFL Draft, the Raiders used two of their draft picks on defensive tackle, bring in P.J. Hall in the second round, and Maurice Hurst in the fifth. Prior to a heart issue being detected at the Combine, many believed Hurst would be a first round talent, and entering his third season, he appears to be on the brink of becoming a Pro Bowl.
