Oakland Raiders: Was replacing Crabtree with Nelson a mistake?

The Oakland Raiders offense will look entirely different in 2018, for various reasons. One of these reasons happens to be the fact that the team will be touting an almost entirely new group of wide receivers.

These new additions at the position are highlighted by the arrival of former Green Bay Packers receiver, Jordy Nelson. At first thought, adding Nelson seems to be a move that should surely make the team better than they were in the previous season, right?

Well that would be the case, if the team didn’t elect to let Michael Crabtree walk and use Nelson as a sort of replacement for him.
