Raiders playing the odds loading up on flyers at defensive tackle | yahoo
https://sports.yahoo.com/raiders-playing-odds-loading-flyers-122156385.html
This offseason the Raiders went kinda nuts at defensive tackle. Usually, at a position of such need, the plan is to go hard after at least one big-ticket guy. The Raiders didn’t do that.

LT SUCKS OUT LOUD.
Surely Veach has a move or two coming re LT, if we’re all screaming like rabid fools he must have his own sense of the need there. One of the biggest questions is Niang, and none of us outside 1 Arrowhead Drive (if that’s the correct address) has the answer. I count thirteen names above, let’s throw a couple more at the wall. And speaking of fools, Happy April Fools Day! And hippo birdie two ewes, Pom.
