When doing some research recently, I noticed something about how outsiders view the status of each of the Raiders’ positions. That is the the wide receiver position is all set. One can assume that the trade to acquire Davante Adams had many people cross wide receiver off and dust their hands.
The problem with that simplistic take, is it ignores the fact that the Raiders weren’t just one wide receiver short last season. They were two wide receivers short.
Adams gives them a caliber of receiver they have not had in a great long while. Perhaps not since the likes of Tim Brown and Jerry Rice lined up on each side. Pair him with Hunter Renfrow, and you’ve got something special brewing.
