Mandatory Credit: Troy Taormina-Imagn Images | Troy Taormina-Imagn Images The Raiders are clearly making an emphasis to add wide receivers this off-season, their 2025 second rounder Jack Bech struggled in 2025, but he showed some potential to flash going forward as a solidified big slot, Z receiver. 4th rounder Dont’e Thornton struggled as well ranking inside the bottom 10 for separation, contested catch ability, and EPA/target before finally ending up as a rotational player losing his spot to Tyler Lockett.

The Raiders signed Jalen Nailor, who’s coming off 800 yards in the last two seasons, and receiver Tre Tucker is also coming off 600 yards and a top 25 finish in separation. The Raiders need to consistently find more reliable targets, including a downfield X receiver to pair with Fernando Mendoza. I broke down their options in rounds 2-4 already , though they’ll likely look to day three also, and UDFA to add more talent to a room void of it.
