The Las Vegas Raiders invested heavily in the wide receiver position this offseason. While adding Geno Smith and Chip Kelly to the offense stole much of the headlines, a vast improvement on the outside could be the difference for the Raiders this season.
That is why general manager John Spytek brought in rookies like Jack Bech, Dont'e Thornton Jr. and Tommy Mellott, as well as veterans Kyle Philips, Collin Johnson and Phillip Dorsett to supplement them.
Through OTAs and mandatory minicamp, it seemed like Thornton was stealing the show for the Silver and Black. Bech was not necessarily doing anything wrong, but he was not generating the buzz that his fourth-round counterpart was.
