Oakland Raiders: Breaking Down Final Roster and Week 1 Starters

The Oakland Raiders revealed their final cuts to meet the 53-man roster deadline, which presented some question marks on both sides of the ball.

The Raiders won’t reveal the official depth chart for Week 1 of the season until September 8, leaving room for speculation on where the remaining players rank at their positions.

Prior to those potential changes, here’s a realistic look at the depth chart with the 53 players who made the cut Saturday.
