While it was the Raiders offense that needed the most work done on it this offseason, the defense was not exactly all set either. Let's put some rankings together to see the strongest and weakest positions.
Starters: Maxx Crosby Kwity Paye
Depth: Malcolm Koonce, Patrick Johnson
Question marks: Will Crosby still be here after the trade deadline? The Raiders traded him this offseason only to have their deal with the Ravens fall through. The Cowboys were hot after Crosby before the Raiders agreed to terms with the Ravens. If the Raiders think it could stil be in their long term best interest, they would still be listening.
Starters: Tonka Hemingway, Adam Butler

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Marcus Stokes threw for 223 yards and two touchdowns as Memphis rattled off the final 13 points to beat UNLV 27-21 on Saturday night in a season opener for both teams.
The win helped Charles Huff become the first Tigers head coach to win a road debut game.
Stokes completed 15 of 26 passes with no turnovers, while Jaylin Carter rushed for 97 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries.
UNLV took a 14-7 halftime lead behind Jackson Arnold, who threw a 38-yard touchdown pass to Tavian McNair and added a 6-yard touchdown run. The Rebels had won their previous 11 games when leading at the break, with their last loss coming against Syracuse on Oct. 4, 2024.
Stokes tied the game early in the third quarter with a 48-yard touchdown pass to Stonka Burnside, but Arnold answered with a 22-yard touchdown pass to Kayden McGee. Carter then scored on a 36-yard run to make it 21-all.

The Las Vegas Raiders begin the 2026 preseason Thursday when they host the Arizona Cardinals with a 5 p.m. PT kickoff.
Let's look at Raiders' players we're excited to see play in the game, presented in alphabetical order:
Jack Bech:
The second-year wide receiver needs to take a big step forward this year after a mostly unproductive rookies season. He has been fairly quiet this training camp. The Raiders need to see progress from Bech and it begins now.
