Raiders roster: 2021 Post-minicamp 53-man roster prediction

Wide Receiver

  • Henry Ruggs III, Bryan Edwards, Hunter Renfrow, John Brown, Zay Jones, Willie Snead

The Las Vegas receiver room added experience and depth with the acquisitions of John Brown and Willie Snead. Brown definitely has some health concerns, but if he can avoid injury, he’ll be a solid playmaker for Jon Gruden and the offense.

Snead also will likely get a few touches to spice up the ariel attack.

Jones has the potential to have an Agholor-Esque season in 2021, as he has been working tirelessly this offseason to improve his game and he has great chemistry with Carr. So, don’t be surprised if he gets worked in more, especially on routes that work the sideline.

Also, Renfrow will still be the third-down-converting machine that he’s always been.

Henry Ruggs and Bryan Edwards are being asked to make big jumps in 2021, with both guys likely being the two leading starters. If both receivers added some size and strength this offseason, while also improving their route tunning, then they should have much better sophomore seasons.
