Here are the Raiders’ five biggest needs after the first week of free agency.
1. Slot cornerback: Lamarcus Joyner was cut and the Raiders need to replace him.
2. Right tackle: Trent Brown was traded away and they need to replace him as the starter.
3. Free safety: Erik Harris was allowed to leave in free agency and a solid single-high safety is a must in Gus Bradley’s defense.
4. Outside cornerback: A veteran presence to either mentor Damon Arnette or compete with him for the starting job is needed.
5. Nose tackle: Johnathan Hankins was brought back, but there is really no one else
