In selecting these players, the Raiders upgrade their roster with high upside, scheme versatile players at positions of need. The Raiders would also change the attitude of the team bringing these guys on board. Josh Allen tirelessly worked his way to the position he is, improving dramatically year on year to now captain his defense. Cody Ford carries a nasty demeanor with his game which could change the offense in a similar way the addition of Osemele did. Nasir Adderley and Mack Wilson both lead as captains on their defenses as well, and both like to set a tone with physical play that has been missing from the Raiders defense for a while. Perhaps the most telling thing about the attitude of these players is simply their desire to win by any means. Despite their caliber on their college teams all three defensive players play special teams with some ferocity, and Ford was completely willing to slide around the line to help his team succeed. This win by any means mentality is what the Raiders have always thrived off, and what Gruden will love in these four.
