ALAMEDA – Training camp is over. The preseason’s halfway through. Position battles are being waged without resolution thus far, but we have a solid grasp on this Raiders team, who is playing well and who has fallen back in the pack.
That makes this an ideal time to break down this roster, and figure out which guys will be with us come September. Head coach Jon Gruden has some tough choices to make, especially in the offensive backfield and at receiver. Defensive coordinator Paul Guenther must whittle down a talented cornerback corps. Those choices come in two exhibitions time.
