Raiders positional needs: No. 3, wide receiver

Even with Jon Gruden (reportedly) set to be introduced as the Raiders’ next head coach Tuesday, Oakland still has a football team needing improvement.

Through Sunday, we’ll count down the Raiders’ top five positional needs for 2018.

Here are No. 5 and No. 4.

WIDE RECEIVER

This is mainly under the assumption that Michael Crabtree won’t be back next season.

As the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported last week, the Raiders aren’t expected to bring Crabtree back. He’s owed $7 million in base salary next season, and no dead cap money would accompany his release.
