Las Vegas Raiders
Some of the moves the Las Vegas Raiders made are very impressive. With issues at linebacker they added Cory Littleton, who is a prototypical linebacker for today’s NFL, with the ability to stay on the field in passing downs and some excellent coverage skills. Jon Gruden and Mike Mayock both liked Marcus Mariota coming out of college, so adding him at the quarterback spot should not be surprising. They added another solid inside linebacker in Nick Kwiatkowski, and a pocket-pushing defensive tackle in Maliek Collins. Eli Apple is a nice reclamation project at the cornerback spot who can be a solid man coverage corner. But then they gave a bit contract to Carl Nassib, they agreed to terms with Jason Witten, and added safety Jeff Heath, which are some head-scratchers.
