TE(4): Foster Moreau, Darren Waller, Erik SwoopeDerek Carrier

Last year, the Raiders carried four tight ends on the roster, so I don’t see why anything will be different this year. In fact, Oakland ran two or three tight end sets more than anyone else in the division.

Foster Moreau and Darren Waller have been really impressive so far in camp. They will be the two players we can be sure will make the team. Outside of those two, it will be interesting to see which other two tight ends end up making the roster this summer.

Erik Swoope and Derek Carrier have also been impressive on film. Jon Gruden really likes Tight Ends that can catch passes as well as block Swoope has proven he can catch passes, and Carrier has shown he can block.
