Are the Raiders in trouble already?

Are their young offensive linemen as good as our young offensive line?

Jackson Powers-Johnson was one of the best IOL in the league last year. I'd say so. Our guys seem to suck big ass outside of the tackles. DJ Glaze played nice ball for them too, though.

Cross is great, though.

And the have Bowers too. And they will be adding more reinforcements in the trenches.

Blown up... how?

They have several young pieces to build around including what appears to be a generational talent at TE, a couple of young offensive linemen with one being a potential hall-of-fame talent based on JPJ's rookie year, a cornerstone edge defender, and good situations regarding both draft capital and cap room.

They don't have much fat to trim, they have pieces to build around that aren't Geno Smith, and they have the resources to improve further for the long term.

And Wilkins who figures to be in the mix.

I like JPJ upside the most. Haynes and Barton did good from the Senior Bowl if I recall correctly but JPJ was just a notch better IMO with his Senor Bowl performance and rookie year in the NFL. Grated Barton was learning to play center while Haynes had his struggles in their rookie years respectively.
