The Oakland Raiders need help in a lot of areas following a miserable 4-12 campaign, but one area their defense may be their biggest issue.

When you think of the New England Patriots, you’ll surely think of guys like Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski, people who generally have the cameras on them and who draw the most crowds during interviews.
