Why WR may not be as much of a priority for Raiders as it seems

This is not just a repeat of the article I wrote three weeks ago about Hunter Renfrow and why his expanded role should bear the brunt of available targets next season, but it draws enough from that idea for me to post the link to that piece right up top. There’s plenty of information in there about how next season’s pass attempts could be broken up with maybe only ~50 going to a rookie receiver, at most.

Of course, a lot can and will change between now and whenever next season starts but with the way that Mike Mayock and Jon Gruden have built this offense so far, I don’t even think there will be much room for a rookie to do more than “Wow” us a few times and create sporadic explosive plays.
