The Las Vegas Raiders were very active during free agency, what do they need to do in the 2020 NFL Draft for them to improve their team?

The Oakland Raiders have relocated to Las Vegas, that does not even sound right. The Las Vegas Raider has been quite active during this offseason period, bringing in some players that I am still confused about, and they have also made some very good signings. Will they be just as aggressive in the 2020 NFL Draft?

Let’s drive into those Raiders’ signings. The signings that agree with was the Cory Littleton signing, Marcus Mariota signing, Nick Kwiatkoski, Carl Nassib, and Damarious Randall. The made some average signings that I am not going to go into. Now for some very bad signings, Jason Witten, Rod Smith, Nick O’Leary, and Eric Kush.

The Las Vegas Raiders were very active when the free agency first opened, but some of those signings I just sit down and think about, why did you do that. Why did give Jason Witten $4 million to be a coach? At that point, just hire Witten as a coach. Rod Smith will not even see the field after what he did for the Giants last season. But then I think about the good signings, the Corey Littleton signing was a home run and so was the Carl Nassib signing, very underrated player. Nassib helped out the Buccaneers with a good and healthy rotation at the defensive end.
