On Thursday, I posted NFL.com Gregg Rosenthal’s projected starting offense for the Las Vegas Raiders. Today I’m sharing the defensive side of the ball, which is where there are going to be a lot more competitions and new faces. Rosenthal has five newcomers starting for the Raiders next season, which seems fair and expected.
Defense
CB Damon Arnette
Here we see the Raiders starting rookie Damon Arnette and second-year player Trayvon Mullen at the cornerback positions, with Lamarcus Joyner in the slot. We know that Joyner’s had success there before but that inexperience at corner may need to get some help from the defense’s pass rush.
