Conclusion

I think teams should try to put as many dynamic playmakers on the field as possible and that is precisely what Oakland would be doing by draft Noah Fant. The loss of Jared Cook was a big one, and the tight end position is very important in Gruden’s offense.

Fant can help Oakland control the middle of the field, and it will become a pick your poison scenario for teams facing this Raiders passing attack. The team has brought in so many weapons on the outside, that a player like Fant could be an impact guy at the next level wearing the Silver and Black.

Five Raiders games likely to be in primetime. dark. Next

With four picks in the top 35, the Raiders have plenty of ammo to not only improve their troubling defense but also grab a player like Fant that could take their offense from good to great. One thing is for sure, if they do find themselves in the running to get Fant, they have certainly done something right this April.
