1. WR Hunter Renfrow

It’s been a roughly a year since the Raiders sent a third- and fifth-round draft choice to the Pittsburgh Steelers for wide receiver Antonio Brown.

The seven-time Pro Bowler figured to be a major asset to Jon Gruden’s offense and in particular quarterback Derek Carr. But it never happened and the organization parted ways with the volatile performer after months of frustration.

One of the other moves the team made in free agency last offseason was the signing of former Los Angeles Chargers’ wideout Tyrell Williams, who put together a solid season for Gruden’s club. He finished with 42 catches for 651 yards and a team-high six touchdown receptions. But this is a club still looking to get better at this position.

The team added former Philadelphia Eagles’ first-rounder Nelson Agholor in free agency. And this is a club that could add a big-play wideout in the upcoming draft.

But don’t sleep on 2019 fifth-round pick Hunter Renfrow, whose 49 receptions in 13 games ranked second on the team this past year. It added up to 605 yards and four scores. He’s part of what looks like a solid ’19 draft class for the organization and his numbers could increase in a big way this year.
