While the headliner of the class is big-money, stud center Tyler Linderbaum from the Baltimore Ravens, the Raiders' free-agent class was much deeper than that.

While it was lauded back in March, it is still getting attention. Recently, NFL reporter Jordan Schulz listed his top 10 favorite under-the-radar-signings of free agency. The Raiders' inking of Philadelphia Eagles' linebacker Nakobe Dean among the group. Here is his full list:

I actually think Dean is much more than an under-the-radar player. he is one of my favorite Raiders' additions this offseason. the guy can play.

The only question about him is if he can consistently stay healthy. If he can, the Raiders scored big here.
