The Oakland Raiders have been very busy in free agency, as they continue to restucture their roster heading into 2019. The 2018 NFL season was an absolute joke for the Raiders, who brought Jon Gruden back to the sidelines, and the team is looking to get a lot better, very quickly this offseason.

Already this offseason, Oakland has traded for elite wide receiver Antonio Brown, and filled two huge voids, one at tackle with Trent Brown, and the other at safety with LaMarcus Joyner. This is a team that could be much-improved this season, as they play their likely last year in Oakland before moving to Las Vegas.

When it comes to the defensive backfield, Joyner is a great addition, and will  team well with Karl Joseph and Erik Harris at the safety spots. At cornerback, Gareon Conley stepped up big time last season, but he needs help, especially with Daryl Worley hitting free agency, and Nick Nelson playing very little as a rookie.

Byron Murphy from Washington is a guy who could hear his name called in the first round, and would be a nice addition to this Raiders secondary. He showed during his time with the Huskies that he has big play ability, and if the Raiders can get Worley back under contract, and bring in Murphy, this Raiders secondary is going to be something next season.
