The Las Vegas Raiders' new regime has drawn plenty of praise since taking over for the franchise in January. They didn't get every move right this offseason, but they made a handful of upgrades at major positions of need for a team that won just four games a year ago.
Perhaps the biggest miscue that general manager John Spytek and head coach Pete Carroll made was not properly addressing the cornerback position. Many felt that once the preseason started, the team should be looking to sign or trade for an established veteran to add to the room.
However, the team defied conventional wisdom and traded away Jakorian Bennett to the Philadelphia Eagles, whom most of Raider Nation felt was the team's best cornerback.
