The Raiders put some emphasis on the tight end position this offseason. We check in on it to see whether the condition is Strong, Stable, Touch and go, Serious, or Critical.
Much like the wide receiver position, the tight end position for the Raiders has been pretty pathetic for a while now. Zach Miller left after the 2010 season and has never been replaced. Also like the wide receiver position, they set forth to remedy that in the draft by taking Clive Walford in the third round. They also added Lee Smith in free agency while two-year starter, Mychal Rivera returns.
