Raiders HC Antonio Pierce is Ready to See Aidan O'Connell's Offseason Growth on the Field
For the Las Vegas Raiders, this summer will be mainly about their quarterback position and who will win the competition for the starting spot. After bringing in veteran quarterback Gardner Minshew, the Raiders are expecting him to push second-year quarterback Aidan O'Connell for the starting position. After unexpectedly being upgraded from third-string quarterback to starting quarterback last season after Josh McDaniels was fired, O'Connell guided the Raiders to a 5-4 record over the second half of the season.

Expert Commentary
This is a bit of a surprise at this point because the Raiders just drafted Michael Mayer last year, but it’s hard to get too mad at adding a talent like Brock damn Bowers. The Raiders' two-tight end personnel sets are going to be a beast and they’ll be in good position to make life easier for whoever is playing quarterback for them this year.

Expert Commentary
This is probably a good spot for Powers-Johnson, who was announced as a guard instead of a center. Regardless, the Raiders needed bodies on the interior and Powers-Johnson is a credible player to add at guard. Very steady starter.

This adds offensive tackle depth for a team that needed it. Perhaps Glaze is a diamond in the rough starter, but he’s most likely just depth.
