Tight End (3): Darren Waller, Luke Willson, Foster Moreau

Over the last two seasons, Raiders tight end Jared Cook has been the team leader in receiving yards, proving to be an incredible asset for Derek Carr in the passing game. However, he took his talents to the Bayou this offseason, signing with the New Orleans Saints, and leaving big shoes to fill in Oakland.

During the 2018 NFL season, the Raiders made a move for Darren Waller, who is an incredibly gifted pass-catching tight end in his own right. He is going to get the chance to start for the Raiders in 2019, and will have some talented guys behind him as well, including Luke Willson and rookie Foster Moreau.

Both Willson and Moreau are solid blockers, and Moreau is a guy who has a nose for the end zone as well. This is a position group that seems like there is more depth than last season, and guys like Paul Butler and Derek Carrier will also get every opportunity to stay on within the 53-man roster this offseason.
