The Las Vegas Raiders defense was downright terrible at times last season, finishing No. 30 in the NFL in terms of points allowed per game. The prior offseason, the franchise attempted to fix that side of the ball by utilizing not only high draft picks but also free agency money, all of which proved ineffective.
As we turn the calendar to the 2021 offseason, there is a lot of work to be done still, and it will be interesting to see what pieces the team brings in to try and fix the issues.
