Free Agency: Robby Anderson

Now is when we start to get into true WR1 status, as Robby Anderson from the New York Jets has all the physical ability to be an elite player in this league for years to come. One of the more underrated players available right now, his still set is perfect for this Raiders offense, and the team should seriously look into what it would take to get him.

Anderson is a great route runner and can get off the ball with incredible speed. In most receivers you have one of two things: speed and agility or strength and route running capability. Anderson has both. Even more impressive is the market value for him.

His previous contract was only 1 year $3.5 million and he could be an option for the Raiders if they need a veteran to fill a spot on the receiving core. Just like Sanders, he has great hands. He only had 3 drops on 92 targets and turned on the jets to achieve 183 yards after the catch.

Not to mention his 34 first-down catches was top-5 in the NFL last year, meaning he knows where the sticks are to move them. And the best part is, hes only 26-years old and the team could lock him down for a few more years to come.
