The Las Vegas Raiders were at the bottom of the barrel in the AFC West last season, and it was not particularly close. The Silver and Black were one of the worst teams in the NFL at large as well, but it is amazing how much can seemingly change in one offseason.
Owner Mark Davis made necessary upgrades with Pete Carroll at head coach and John Spytek at general manager, and the team's new leadership completely revamped the roster for the better. The same cannot necessarily be said about the Los Angeles Chargers, their bitter division rival.
They made a puzzling choice by selecting running back Omarion Hampton in the first round of the NFL Draft after signing coveted free agent Najee Harris earlier in the offseason.
