J.J. Sanchez is the leading candidate to get the nod at QB, while top lineman Lupe Encina will lead play in the trenches. On defense, Marcus Davila is a standout at Linebacker. A lot of questions must be answered for a team that will rely on newcomers to a great degree. The raiders should be better late in the year.
