Last season, the Oakland Raiders put together a four-win season, so it is no big surprise that many of the national experts are down on them heading into 2019. This is a team that has only one winning season since 2002, and for most, they appear to be a team that is heading towards another season below .500.
However, new general manager Mike Mayock and head coach Jon Gruden had a stellar offseason, bringing in a bunch of talent on both sides of the ball. This is a roster with much more talent than they had last season, though only one of the Raiders made CBS’ list of the top-100 players in the game.
