Raiders 53-man roster projection as cutdown deadline approaches

Thursday night was the final test for the Las Vegas Raiders . Training camp has concluded and so have the preseason games. Now the Raiders coaches will have the next couple days to make whatever final decisions they have to make in order to decide who lands on the initial 53-man roster.

It was not an easy task to project. But this is what I have come up with as my final projection for who will make the cut on August 30 and who will not.
