The Las Vegas Raiders still have a big question left unanswered ahead of the NFL draft. What are they going to do about their wide receiver room? They made all the right moves and were aggressive in reshaping their offense, but it’s the one area they’ve left untouched.
Their trade for Geno Smith and acquisition of Raheem Mostert were steps in the right direction, but as of now, their best wide receiver is Jakobi Meyers. He’s an underrated receiver in the league, but he’s more valuable as a second option as opposed to your main guy.
“The Raiders’ top receiver in both touchdowns and yards last season was rookie tight end Brock Bowers. Jakobi Meyers was the only wideout to top 1,000 yards, with the WR room losing veteran Davante Adams in a trade with the New York Jets.
Tre Tucker showed flashes and is expected to step up alongside Meyers, with Pete Carroll now on the headset. Still, maybe a reunion with the team that drafted Cooper in 2015 gives the Raiders the veteran presence they’ve missed since Davante left”, said Ciccone.
I think this would be a phenomenal move for the Raiders, as not only would it create a heartwarming storyline for the fans to follow throughout the season, but it would give Smith another reliable option to throw to.
