What the Raiders do at DT gonna be the most interesting cuts of all the positions. 

Josh Mauro seems to be a player that is skating by without doing anything. Maybe Westbrook’s can play that DE spot. 

DEs are hard to find.

Josh Mauro is a big strong base DE, who is stout against the run and if really needed can move inside in nickel, dime packages a bit.

Ethan Westbrook is a small DT/UT, who is soft against the run and can offer a bit as a pass rusher, however he played with Aaron Donald and Brockers for his hole carrier and also with Suh last year, so his sack number is inflated for sure. He is really just a depth, TC guy IMO.

Corey Liguet has a lot better chance to make the 53, while Mauro seems like a lock as run stopping DE. He might end up being our starter accross Ferrell or just a rotational guy if Key can win the staff over, but anyway I expect to see lots of Mauro against the run and no Westbrook on the 53 at all.

He's Buckner's guy and fits Gunther's system. Will be interesting to see what happens with the DTs. Hurst and Hankins seem to be the only two locks with Hall/Westbrooks/Ellis/Rush/Liuget battling for the last 3 spots.

I see it 

DT Starters: Hankins, Hurst(hope he takes the next step)

Backups: Hall, Luiget(1 year vet could help mentor youth, stout against the run but actually can rush the passer unlike Jelly)

5th: Rush-  developmental NT. Could push Hall for PT if he keeps underperforming. 

if coaches really like Westbrooks they could slide him to DE

DE Starters: Mauro, Ferrell 

DE Backups: Key(pass rush specialist), Mayowa or Westbrook for the last backup spot. Mayowa shouldn't be a lock. I would Pup Max, keep both vets Westbrook and Mayowa, we need all the help we can get at the edge.
