Las Vegas Raiders: 53-man roster projection post-2022 NFL Draft
Wide Receiver (6): Davante Adams, Bryan Edwards, Hunter Renfrow, Demarcus Robinson, Mack Hollins, Keenan Cole
The biggest move of the offseason for the Las Vegas Raiders came at the wide receiver position, as the team swung a monster trade for Green Bay Packers star Davante Adams. Arguably the best player at his position in the NFL, Adams instantly gives Carr the WR1 he has been lacking for quite some time, and he just happens to be his best friend as well.
With Adams atop the depth chart, and Hunter Renfrow coming off a 100-catch season, the Raiders have the weapons they need to beat anybody in the passing game. The hope is, however, that Bryan Edwards take a major step forward in 2022, and depth pieces like Demarcus Robinson, Mack Hollins, and Keenan Cole can contribute.
The final 2021 53-man roster had only five wideouts on it, but right now, I can see the Raiders going into the 2022 season with six. Cole was a big pickup, as he has been very productive at the NFL level, and in Adams and Renfrow, Las Vegas may have the best wideout tandem in the NFL.
Total Roster Number: 13
