TEAM NEEDS

Wide receiver

The Raiders added Nelson Agholor to the mix via free agency, and they have Tyrell Williams and Hunter Renfrow as solid complementary options, but they need a dynamic centerpiece at the position.

Cornerback

After finishing No. 25 in passing yards allowed last season, the Raiders were aggressive in trying to lure in Byron Jones and Chris Harris Jr. to help fix their woes, but they fell short. Eli Apple was signed, but it’s unlikely that he fills the No. 2 role.

Safety

The marriage between Karl Joseph and the Raiders came to an end despite his high level of play. Oakland needs to add a player that will start opposite of Johnathan Abram.
