Prior to the start of free agency, I ranked the needs of the Oakland Raiders. At that time, I said the most glaring holes were the following: defensive coordinator, defensive line, linebackers, secondary, right tackle, slot wide receiver, power running back, in this particular order.
Now that both free agency and the draft are over, let’s see where the team now stands, and what holes remain.
Concerning need #1, as I mentioned before, the only significant change was the hiring of John Pagano as Assistant Head Coach – Defense.
Hopefully bringing in Pagano is the first step towards getting rid of Ken Norton Jr.
