Las Vegas Raiders 53-man roster prediction entering 2022 training camp
Wide Receivers (5): Davante Adams, Hunter Renfrow, Demarcus Robinson, Mack Hollins, Keelan Cole
One of the biggest needs for the Raiders after last season was a legitimate WR1 on the outside, and they filled that need in a big way this offseason. Davante Adams has long been considered one of the best wideouts in the NFL, and now, he joins his best friend, Derek Carr as a member of the Silver and Black.
That is a monster get for this franchise, and after a 100-catch season by Hunter Renfrow in 2022, this combination is going to be something special for a long time. Las Vegas not only added Adams this offseason via trade, but they also brought in some quality depth wideouts, including Demarcus Robinson, Keelan Cole, and Mack Hollins.
Going into Week 1, McDaniels may decide to roll with five wide receivers, as the team has an elite tight end in Darren Waller, and two solid pass-catching running backs in Kenyan Drake and Brandon Bolden. That gives Carr more than enough talent in the passing game and allows the team to bolster other position groups.
