The Oakland Raiders are in rebuild mode come 2019, but they have plenty of resources to help fill in the holes on both offense and defense. Oakland has a little over $70 million in cap space heading into the offseason alongside a plethora of draft picks that include three in the first round alone.
The Raiders are wise to use both the draft and their cap space to add necessary talent, and not having a suitable linebacker has plagued Oakland for as long as one can remember. In today’s NFL, it’s become close to imperative to have a player that can cover, rush the passer, and effectively stop the run.
