Raiders lack Top 5 AFC West defensive tackles ahead of 2026 season

As the 2026 NFL season approaches, the Las Vegas Raiders face challenges at the defensive tackle position. Unlike their division rivals—the Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, and Los Angeles Chargers—the Raiders are not represented among the top defensive tackles in the AFC West. Chris Jones of the Chiefs remains a key player in the division, while Zach Allen of the Broncos also stands out for his pass-rushing abilities. Adam Butler, the Raiders' primary tackle, had a disappointing season and faces competition from younger, unproven players. The Raiders will need to address these gaps as they prepare for the upcoming season.
