Who makes the team

When it comes to who makes the 2021 Las Vegas Raiders roster heading into Week 1 against Baltimore, you have to like the chances of several players. Ruggs, Edwards, Renfrow, and Brown seem like locks to make the team, and that leaves at least one or two more guys who will have to battle it out for the fifth and sixth wideout spots.

Snead has an edge being that he is a veteran and was brought in to be a playmaker by the front office, but his name is not written in pen. Jones is going to get a very long look to show that he belongs on the Week 1 roster, and sleepers like Stoner and Doss could surprise coming out of camp.

This is going to be a position group to watch this summer, and as is always the case, injuries could shape who makes the team coming out of camp. Hopefully, everyone can stay healthy and there can be a legitimate competition as to who fills out the roster at the position group.

However, I feel the Raiders will keep six on the active roster going into the Baltimore matchup: Ruggs, Edwards, Renfrow, Brown, Jones, and Snead.
