The Las Vegas Raiders have issues on all three levels of their defense, a unit that was recently ranked in the bottom-five of the NFL.

Heading into this offseason, the Las Vegas Raiders knew they needed to improve on the defensive side of the ball. The Raiders’ general manager, Mike Mayock, stated that the team was lacking playmakers on all three levels, which meant that changes were coming.
