The Las Vegas Raiders are trying to rebuild and revitalize their offense. They have the pieces to have a good offense, but their system was flawed from the get-go last season.

Returning Raider Nation’s questions for the week
We’re a week removed from the 2024 NFL Draft and, in typical Las Vegas Raiders’ fashion, the draft came with some controversy. The Raiders did not take a quarterback last weekend and went with a ‘best player available’ approach in the first round by selecting Georiga tight end Brock Bowers a year after using a second-rounder on Michael Mayer.
That’s led to some questions about...

Former Raider Aldon Smith will mentoring the Jaguars as well
Former Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Aldon Smith had an excellent start to his career. In his first season, he had 15 sacks after being drafted in the top ten of the 2011 NFL draft.
After that season, things went downhill for Smith, haunting his progress. He has had his trials and tribulations during his career. He was in and out of the NFL, dealing with issues off the field that kept him...

Raider Nation was happy with the draft overall
The Las Vegas Raiders have finished their draft, adding eight players to the roster. The class was full of pleasant surprises in the first two rounds, with good depth in the later rounds. Delmar Glaze will battle with Thayer Munford for the right tackle spot, with DeMarion Richardson being an athletic marvel. Players such as Trey Taylor may be able to contribute down the line. Time will tell, but the class...

The Las Vegas Raiders very obviously had a locker room issue during the first half of last season. The players were not happy with Josh McDaniels and the outcomes of the games they were playing.
Penn State Football Recruiting has experienced a boon since head coach James Franklin arrived in Happy Valley in 2014. The Nittany Lions have consistently produced top 20 recruiting classes with Penn State averaging top 15 classes and recruiting two top-10 classes to Penn State in his 10-year tenure, including these five massive recruiting wins.

Raiders have struggled to retain their first round picks
The Las Vegas Raiders are coming off a draft where they landed an elite tight end in the first round. Brock Bowers was a highly touted coming out of Georgia and should help elevate the Raiders offense.
However, Raider Nation has heard this all before. Since 2018, the Raiders have had nine first-round picks. The only ones on the roster are Kolton Miller and recently drafted Tyree Wilson. It has led to the...
The Las Vegas Raiders, under the leadership of new general manager Tom Telesco, have made significant strides in their scouting process. Just take a look at their 2024 NFL Draft class-it's hard to deny that they're already surpassing the achievements of their previous regimes.

Diving into the 3rd-round pick’s game
In the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Las Vegas Raiders addressed their offensive line by selecting Delmar ‘DJ’ Glaze out of Maryland. Glaze is an interesting prospect because while he has a strong track record in pass protection at offensive tackle, his traits suggest he’d be better suited as a guard at the next level.
For example, the former Terripan earned pass-blocking grades from...
Over the past years, the Las Vegas Raiders have boasted a formidable special teams unit, largely attributed to the caliber of their coaches and players.
The Las Vegas Raiders almost surely entered the NFL Draft with the intention of taking a quarterback in the first round. Instead, they ended up with a tight end.
