Tight End (3): Darren Waller, Foster Moreau, Derek Carrier

The Raiders love to incorporate tight ends into their passing game, so the decision on who makes the roster is an important one.

Darren Waller has impressed everyone so far in camp, as his speed is something that most linebackers cannot handle. He is looking like a player who could shock not only Raider Nation, but the entire league, and is quite the story in itself.

Foster Moreau was drafted by the Raiders in the fourth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, and will be used mostly as a blocking tight end, but his spot is locked, as well.

The battle between Carrier and Luke Willson is a close one, but the edge goes to Carrier for now. If the Raiders choose to keep four tight ends, which is very possible, Willson will be on the team, as they are both a strong asset to the passing game.
