Matthew Cole from Pennsylvania asks:

"What position(s) is being prioritized with free agency?"

Well, there should be a few.

The obvious position group I would project the Raiders to target is the offensive line, which was limited by injuries and coaching adjustments throughout the season. Per Next Gen Stats, the Raiders allowed the fifth-highest quarterback pressure percentage in the league (8.2 percent) and Geno Smith was sacked the most times in the league. Depth became an area of concern when Kolton Miller, Jackson Powers-Johnson, Jordan Meredith and Dylan Parham suffered injuries. It's also worth mentioning that the starting offensive line at Week 1 was a young unit, standing at an average age of 25.8 years old. A few veteran pieces could pay dividends.

The other position that I think should be a focal point is wide receiver. It's another young unit that lost their veteran playmaker Jakobi Meyers via trade to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Raiders' 2,851 passing yards were the fifth fewest in 2025, with wide receivers accounting for only 51 percent of the receiving yards total for the season. Adding a top receiver in free agency to a room with Tre Tucker and Jack Bech could help further in unlocking the offense.

Jorge Lavín asks:

"Can we get Omar Cooper Jr.?"

Since I was just talking about the need to add receivers in free agency, let's pivot to another exceptional receiver as a potential draft prospect.

While Indiana's Omar Cooper Jr. is a redshirt junior with another year of eligibility, it's hard to imagine his draft stock becoming higher than it is now after the season he just had. He was the top target for Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza, leading the Hoosiers in receptions (69) and receiving yards (937) while also catching 13 touchdowns. His production was vital in Indiana securing its first national championship in school history.

What's impressive about Cooper is his strength at the point of the attack, which allows him to make big catches even in extremely tight coverage. His high football IQ also allows him to find open spaces in zone coverage. Considering the Raiders could draft Cooper's college quarterback with the No. 1 pick, it makes him a logical target for Las Vegas with a Day 2 pick – if Cooper declares.

By the way, stop what you're doing and watch his game-winning touchdown catch against Penn State this season. It's pretty epic.

Frank Alexander asks:

"A great question is why haven't they hired Ejiro Evero yet so he can start building a staff?"

Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero is one of two candidates who have had a second interview for the Raiders head coach job. And considering Raiders brass interviewed 14 candidates in their first round of the search, we likely have a long way to go in the process.

Evero has been around winning football programs for the majority of his coaching career. In his five seasons on the Los Angeles Rams coaching staff, they won three divisional titles, earned two Super Bowl berths and won Super Bowl LVI as their secondary coach and passing game coordinator in 2021. This opened up opportunities to become the defensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos and Panthers – where he helped win the NFC South title this past season. Under Evero, the Panthers defense was top 10 in the league in takeaways (21) and interceptions (15).

It would also be a bit of a reunion with the Silver and Black for Evero, who signed as a rookie UDFA with the Raiders in 2004 out of UC Davis, though he never played and instead began his coaching career.
