the raiders have a B+ lb core with should-have been pro bowler thomas howard 1 sack 6 ints 11 passes defended 2 tds and 95 tackles and their mlb kirk morrison 120 tackles 4 ints 10 passes defended and filling the other olb spot will be robert thomas and ed hartwell.
as for the d-line at DE you have the always great pro bowler derrek burgess, and filling the other spot will be greg spires(whom i bet duke knows) kalimba edwards, and jay richardson, and for DT William joeseph (whom i bet dude lap knows) former 3rd overall draft pick gerrard warren, and tommy kelly.
as for the o-line former 2nd overall pick has found his calling at LG and at RG cooper carlise the broncos long time starter holds that position. at center john wade former bucs starter, then at LT kwame harris the 49ers former starter then at RT corrnel green and mario henderson will compete for that position the raiders 9 to 10 wins this year and hopefully playoffs

If I'm not mistaken, the Raiders gave up the most sacks in the NFL over the last 5 seasons, even more than the Texans. With Russell, Curry, Walker, McFadden, and Fargas, it is key for the offensive line to produce and stay reliable. Those are some key and talented players that can only thrive if the OL carries the load.
As for William Joseph...yeah, he was a pretty goo player, but it was better if the Giants let him go. He was injury prone, had a pretty big contract, and committed a lot of stupid penalties (unsportsmanlike conduct and crap like that). Anyways, he was behind the depth chart to Robbins and Cofield, and was starting to more even behind Jay Alford.
