No BS Raiders Roster Evaluation | Ep.356

No BS Raiders Roster Evaluation | Ep.356

The draft is over. Free agency is basically done. So what exactly ARE the Las Vegas Raiders right now?

RJ Clifford and Juan Soto give a full NO-BS evaluation of the Raiders roster after the 2026 NFL Draft — from the upside… to the massive question marks nobody wants to talk about.

Is the defense actually improved?
Why the offensive line is still a mystery
The real concern with Jackson Powers-Johnson
Why the QB room finally makes sense
How quickly can the young secondary develop?
Is the roster better… or just younger?
Why this season could either gel fast OR become a complete mess early

Plus:

Fernando Mendoza expectations
Maxx Crosby carrying the defense again
The hidden importance of the tight end room
Austin Mock ranking the Raiders roster 28th in the NFL
And why the Raiders may still be missing true “dudes”

This is the most honest breakdown of the Raiders roster you’ll hear anywhere.
