Raiders draft 2022: Could a tight end fit?

With no immediate, glaring need at the position, needs elsewhere and only five draft picks, it may not make initial sense if the Las Vegas Raiders target the tight end position in the April 28-30 draft.

However, not so fast. I wouldn’t necessarily discount new Las Vegas general manager Dave Ziegler and head coach Josh McDaniels considering tight ends in the draft.

After all, star tight end Darren Waller has two years remaining on his contract, key backup Foster Moreau is entering the final year of his deal, McDaniels loved to use double tight-end sets in New England and, McDaniels has stated he is always looking for the best available players in the draft.
