Las Vegas Raiders 2020 post-draft depth chart: Quarterback

The Las Vegas Raiders made a big change to their quarterback room this offseason, and it is a much-improved group heading into the 2020 season.

The Las Vegas Raiders went into the offseason looking to improve at every position, and they certainly did when it comes to the quarterback room. Instead of Derek Carr going into the season with nobody behind him to push him, the team added a former No. 2 overall pick in Marcus Mariota, who was replaced by Ryan Tannehill in Tennessee.

Here is a look at the 2019 season at quarterback for the Raiders, who they added and lost, and what the depth chart looks like after the draft.

2019 season

It was the Derek Carr show once again in 2019, as he entered his second season in Jon Gruden’s offense without a true WR1 at the top of the depth chart. The hope was Antonio Brown would lead a crop that included Tyrell Williams and Hunter Renfrow, but AB had his issues during camp, and Williams was forced into the WR1 role.

Luckily for Carr, the Raiders got a tremendous effort from tight end Darren Waller, who hauled in 90 catches in a breakout season. In addition, running back Josh Jacobs should have won the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year, and had Williams not gotten injured, he was in the middle of a solid season as well.

Overall, Carr played well statistically, throwing for over 4,000 yards for the second straight season, and finishing only behind New Orleans Saints star Drew Brees in terms of completion percentage. While it was a fine season with the stats, the wins were not there again, so the noise surrounding him early this offseason was the team could move on from him.

For the second straight offseason, that did not happen, and in fact, the team continued to build around him.
