Could the Oakland Raiders be sneaky playoff contenders in 2019?

Over one week of free agency is in the books and it already feels like the Oakland Raiders are the biggest winners. At least, in terms of their goals to supply quarterback Derek Carr with a strong cast around him. The entire receiver group looks unrecognizable from the 2018 season, which was desperate for a change.

Now Carr and Jon Gruden have some toys to play with in 2019. Running back still needs to be addressed, but that position is the easiest to plug and play. So long as the offensive line can create holes and keep Derek clean, which is why they brought in Trent Brown, then both the running and passing game will be much-improved.
