Raiders to put weapons around Derek Carr and some good candidates emerged from 2019 Senior Bowl

The 2019 NFL Draft is loaded with defensive talent, especially pass-rushers like everyone is saying. But the Oakland Raiders need more than defensive players. The offense was pretty bad in 2018 too. Quarterback Derek Carr’s cast was far from the one he had in 2016 when he led the Raiders’ top ten offense.

The one steady presence he had last season was tight end Jared Cook, the team’s lone Pro Bowler. Carr needs more explosive weapons as Cook was the only weapon with any speed Carr had to throw to.
