The Las Vegas Raiders’ lack of movement to shore up the free safety position during the initial portion of free agency is curious, if not disconcerting. The position, which is an extremely integral part of the defense Gus Bradley is installing in the desert, still appears devoid of a clear-cut starter. The Raiders could add
Gruden isn’t picking a defensive back #17 overall. He’s tired of the investment thus far in the secondary and wants to see the young guys produce.
Raiders are picking an offensive tackle most likely at pick 17. Possibly a safety in the 2nd round but certainly not in the first.
By the way, Raiders starting FS is not on the roster right now. They have to get a veteran as well.
