Henderson, Nev.—Minicamp is over and the next time the Las Vegas Raiders assemble together as one, the long-awaited 2021 NFL season will be upon us.

Christmas is close for the football fan.

With minicamp being over, it is now time to look ahead to the start of the season with our Sports Illustrated’s Raider Maven projected starting lineup.

Jon Gruden said yesterday about whether this is his best roster: “Well, I’ll have to see it when we get to (training) camp. Obviously, we like it on paper. We made some changes that are, in some people’s eyes, questionable. We’re younger. I think we’re faster. I think we do have more depth. It’s hard to update that question right now without seeing everything in pads at full speed.”

We’ve already given you what we predict for the 53-man roster, so now let’s look at those starters:
