3 key ways the Las Vegas Raiders improved this offseason
Wide Receiver
Last year, the Raiders went into the season with high hopes for Henry Ruggs III, a former first-round pick who had flashed serious potential early as a rookie. However, we all know how the Ruggs story played out, but for a while there, it looked like he would become a true WR1 in this league, giving Derek Carr the No. 1 option he was lacking.
Now, the position group looks completely different, as the Silver and Black brought in an All-Pro player in Davante Adams, who happens to be Carr’s best friend. Adams is by far one of the best wideouts in the NFL, and him atop the depth chart makes this group better instantly, though he is not the only big-time player there.
Hunter Renfrow hauled in over 100 catches this past season, finishing with the second-highest total of any Raiders wideout in a regular season in team history. That gives Las Vegas an elite duo atop the depth chart, with guys like Keelan Cole, Mack Hollins, and Demarcus Robinson fighting for that WR3 spot.
