The Las Vegas Raiders added plenty of new faces at defensive tackle, but holdover Johnathan Hankins will continue to play a key role.

It is no big secret that the Las Vegas Raiders defense struggled in a big way this past season, finishing out as one of the bottom-3 units in football. The Silver and Black struggled to get solid play on all three levels, including upfront along the defensive line, where they could not get any pass rush.
