NFL Media Evaluates Raiders' Offseason So Far

The Las Vegas Raiders will look a little different next season, but will they be better?

In the second offseason under the Dave Ziegler-Josh McDaniels regime, the Las Vegas Raiders have been one of the most active clubs in this year's offseason.

With big moves like replacing their franchise quarterback and trading away one of the league's best tight ends in Darren Waller, the Raiders will be looking very different -- particularly on offense -- compared to the norms of the past few seasons.

But the NFL world doesn't seem to have reached a consensus as to whether or not the franchise has improved. 

Nick Shook of NFL.com recently delved into all 32 teams' "biggest additions/signings," "biggest losses," and "burning question."

Many of the Raiders' newest additions are former assets of the New England Patriots, a wave that is clearly attributed to McDaniels' and Ziegler's experience with one of the league's most historically successful franchises.

In regards to the Raiders' offseason, Shook posed the question: "Will New England West turn into a contender after a busy offseason?"

He added the following analysis:

"Jimmy Garoppolo is the new quarterback in town and the front man of a team that is starting to look a lot like coach Josh McDaniels' former employer. Dumping Derek Carr for Garoppolo seems to be more of a fit-related decision than one dependent upon ceiling, but if it works better than Carr did for McDaniels, then it will be worth it. The Raiders brought in plenty of reinforcements this offseason, and with 12 draft picks in hand, the Raiders likely aren't finished remaking their team in the image of McDaniels and GM Dave Ziegler. The question then will be, of course: Is it enough? Las Vegas has the talent necessary to be better than 6-11, a record that could have been closer to .500 had the team found ways to consistently play four full quarters without falling off a cliff in the second half. Time will tell, but for a coach looking to make his imprint on a franchise, McDaniels is certainly on his way."
