Oakland Raiders Free Agency and Draft Wish List

For the Oakland Raiders, the 2014 offseason is a chance to address some of the team's biggest areas of need.

Unlike year's past, this time around general manager Reggie McKenzie will finally have an opportunity to land some marquee names via free agency and the draft.

Thanks to an estimated $61.8 million in cap space, McKenzie will have a surfeit amount of loot to help shore up Oakland's roster.

For the Silver and Black's current regime, the excuses are over. At the end of the day, this team has to show signs of improvement in 2014. Anything less would be a disservice to one of the most loyal fanbases in all of sports.

Scanning free agency and looking ahead to the upcoming draft, it's time to examine some of the players who need to be on Oakland's radar.
