Now that the draft and free agency are mostly over, the picture of what the Oakland Raiders' roster will look like next season has started to take shape.
There's a long way to go before next season, and lots of questions about the roster won't be answered until training camp. Once the new coaching staff begins to implement the new offensive and defensive game plans, the expectations of the roster will become clearer.
But the additions that the team has made so far are enough to give an indication about what direction the roster is going at every position.
Here's an early look at ...

The Oakland Athletics are as much a deep salvage operation as they are a baseball team. To get ahead, they'll go wherever they can in hopes of finding whatever they can.
They don't hit on all their searches, of course. But every now and then, they find a Stephen Vogt.
If you're just now joining us, Vogt looks like he's come to the 2015 A's straight from the 1927 Yankees. Through 31 games, he's slashing .337/.420/.673 with a 1.093 OPS and nine home runs, all tops among catchers. And, according to FanGraphs, only two other qualified hitters in MLB are outpacing Vogt in adjusted ...
A critical part of excelling in the NFL is knowing your assignment and fulfilling your role in the best possible fashion. The Oakland Raiders now have a roster bustling with young talent in need of direction.
The team drafted a couple of hybrid position players. It’s also plausible some current players will become tweeners between positions on the field. Versatility is key, but the Raiders have to use the skill sets in the right places on the field.
Oakland’s coaches should spend the beginning of this offseason defining roles and creating open competition for weaker positions to help players develop and get ...
The Oakland A's season has not gone as expected, and yet we may see a few more surprises before all is said and done.
Just over one month into the season, the A's are struggling.
Sonny Gray and Scott Kazmir have been solid. After them, the starting pitching has been all over the place. The offense is inconsistent, and the bullpen is a problem. Injuries have decimated the roster as well. From leadoff hitter Coco Crisp to closer Sean Doolittle, key players have missed extended periods here and there.
Though there are four-and-a-half months left of baseball, many have given up on Oakland ...
There comes a point in a player’s NFL career when he has to prove his worth. A solid or breakout season usually does the trick when trying to seal a future with an organization. The Oakland Raiders have a number of players who will be in the spotlight for show and tell in 2015.
The Raiders’ roster has an influx of young players, some of whom are still trying to cement themselves as consistent NFL talents. Personally, the third NFL season is the make-or-break year, where there’s a lot to prove, and failure to do so could land a player on ...

Surgery "Imminent" for Parker, Timetable for Return Uncertain
Sunday, May 10
Joe Stiglich of CSN Bay Area has more on Parker's injury:
A's right-hander Jarrod Parker has a fracture of the medial epicondyle in his right elbow, Oakland head trainer Nick Paparesta said Saturday night.
Paparesta said surgery is "imminent" for Parker to repair the fracture, and not until then will doctors know if Parker would require a third ligament replacement in his ...
Following an influx of talent, the Oakland Raiders must now go about the business of deciding who will start and who will be relegated to reserve roles.
Despite coming off of a 3-13 season, much of the Oakland starting lineup is actually staying intact. And for several positions where there will be a change, such as middle linebacker, center and strong safety, the new starter is unquestioned.
But there are still some positions on the roster where the starter is yet to be determined. Fortunately, the team now has multiple options at these positions, and it'll be up to the players to ...
