Raiders Building Blocks on the Roster for 23, Beyond

HENDERSON, Nev.--In our latest episode of the Las Vegas Raiders Insider Podcast, we take a close look at the Silver and Black roster and which of the players right now are building blocks for 2023 and beyond.

Matt Hladik of TheSpun.com joins us to do this detailed analysis. You can watch the entire podcast below. Topics we cover include:

*What are the criteria for Josh McDaniels and Dave Ziegler to show Mark Davis that the team is progressing?

*How big of an impact can Jimmy Garoppolo bring to the team from continuity between him and Josh McDaniels?

*Josh McDaniels didn't lose the locker room; what must he do to continue building his relationship with the team?

*The Josh McDaniels who led the Denver Broncos is the same now; why is that?

*Does McDaniels sophomore season in the desert really set the stage for the rest of his time in Las Vegas?

*It isn't fair to discuss Jimmy Garoppoli and not bring up his injury history, but neither is it fair to discuss his injury history and not his success.

*Is Jimmy Garoppolo a long-term building block?

*When you breakdown the Las Vegas Raiders and the Josh Jacobs relationship, are either party wrong? Did the Silver and Black make a mistake not using the fifth-year option? Are the Raiders wrong for using the franchise tag? Is Jacobs wrong for not being at off-season workouts?

*LT Kolton Miller is clearly a long-term building block for Silver and Black, but is he the only one?

*Davante Adams is not only a building block for the Las Vegas Raiders; he is in the opinion of the author, the best wide receiver in the National Football League. What makes him special?

*Is Jakobi Meyers a long-term building block for the Raiders?

*Maxx Crosby is similar to Davane Adams. Not only is he a certain building block for the Raiders, but you can make the case that he is the best DE in the National Football League.

*Maxx Crosby and Davante Adams have characteristics rarely seen in sports; we share with you what they have in common with Earvin "Magic" Johnson, Kobe Bryant, and Michael Jordan.

*A player can be franchised tagged a maximum of three times.
