Editor's note: Here is the fifth installment of a five-part series on the organization’s top offseason priorities.
The Raiders defensive front showcased plenty of talent last season. Khalil Mack is a monster, already considered among the league’s elite pass rushers. Mario Edwards Jr. had a strong rookie season. Justin Tuck flashed veteran savvy. Aldon Smith proved to be a physical freak 49ers fans knew well, athletic and nasty from the outside linebacker spot.
A collection like that suggests the Raiders don’t need help up front. Mack will be a force again next season, but it’s hard to count on anything else after that.
