With wide receiver depth an ongoing issue, it wasn't too surprising that the Las Vegas Raiders came out of April's draft with three.

7/02/25 | Raiders Rookie Receives High Praise. The Las Vegas Raiders entered the offseason in desperate need of an upgrade at their skill positions. While the Raiders already had talented players on the roster, such as Jakobi Meyers, Brock Bowers, and Tre Tucker, they needed more to compete in the most challenging divisions in the league. In his first offseason as the team's general manager, John Spytek immediately addressed the Raiders' most pressing needs with impressive efficiency. After acquiring veteran quarterback Geno Smith for only a third-round pick, Spytek and the Raiders attacked the NFL Draft with precision.

6/29/25 | Raiders Will Be Rolling the Dice By Not Extending Jakobi Meyers. The Las Vegas Raiders have a true No. 1 wide receiver in Jakobi Meyers. Meyers has been an excellent player for the Raiders since coming over from New England. Since joining the Raiders, Meyers has been a good leader both on and off the field. Last season was a special season for the Meyers. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/raiders/las-vrgas-john-spyt... |

6/26/25 | Why Raiders' Meyers Will Remain a Top WR. Many NFL fans could see that wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was emerging as a productive wide receiver in the early years of his career with the New England Patriots. New England decided to move on from him, allowing the Las Vegas Raiders to sign him to a three-year, $33 million contract in March of 2023. Since then, Meyers has developed into one of the most reliable receivers in the NFL. Heading to Las Vegas for a bigger role was one of the best decisions of Meyers' career.

6/25/25 | Raiders trade idea could give Geno Smith final piece for lethal offense. The Las Vegas Raiders have had a successful offseason. The wide receiver corps is led by the solid, reliable and perpetually underrated Jakobi Meyers, but he's not what anyone would call a true No. 1 wideout. David Helman of FOX Sports proposed one perfect landing spot for several notable players who skipped their team's mandatoryminicamp. Source: https://justblogbaby.com/raiders-trade-idea-could-... |
6/24/25 | Jakobi Meyers' value for young Raiders wide receivers continues to be fortified. Throughout his NFL career, wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has put up solid numbers despite lackluster quarterback play with both the New England Patriots and Las Vegas Raiders. Last season, he caught passes from a trio of Gardner Minshew, Aidan O'Connell and Desmond Ridder, yet he still recorded a career-high 87 receptions and topped 1,000 receiving yards for the first time in his career. Because the Raiders do not have a proverbial No. 1 wide receiver and Geno Smith is a massive upgrade under center, Meyers could be set up for another dramatic increase in production in 2025.

6/21/25 | Raiders trade proposal sends premium NFL draft picks to Commanders for $68 million star receiver. The Las Vegas Raiders could use another dynamic receiver to pair with Jakobi Meyers and All-Pro tight end Brock Bowers, and one NFL analyst proposes a deal that would land Chip Kelly's offense a bonafide star playmaker in Terry McLaurin.

6/19/25 | Raiders' Offense Wildly Disrespected in Recent Rankings. The Las Vegas Raiders invested more on the offensive side of the ball than anywhere else this offseason. The Raiders used one of the top picks in the draft on talented running back Ashton Jeanty. The Raiders also added Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the NFL Draft to an offense that contains Jakobi Meyers and Brock Bowers. Kyle Soppe of the Pro Football Network recently ranked every offense in the National Football League following the NFL Draft. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/raiders/las-vegas-chip-kell... |
6/18/25 | Raiders Revamped Unit May be One of NFL's Most Underrated. The Las Vegas Raiders entered the offseason desperately needing to add to their skill positions on offense. Although Jakobi Meyers and Brock Bowers are formidable pass catchers, the Raiders have yet to establish another consistent option outside of them. John Spytek guided the Raiders to a productive NFL Draft, efficiently addressing the roster's most pressing needs.

6/14/25 | Pete Carroll exhibiting youthful enthusiasm with Raiders. Pete Carroll bounced around the fields during the Raiders' offseason practices, exhibiting the youthful enthusiasm that has been the most visible part of his identity throughout his coaching career. The 73-year-old Carroll is in his first season of trying to help the franchise — coming off a 4-13 season and without a playoff victory in 22 years — to recapture some of the glory that long ago made the Raiders an almost annual contender. “I don't know how he's doing it,” wide receiver Jakobi Meyers said. Carroll won championships in college at USC and in the NFL with the Seattle Seahawks. Source: https://sports.mynorthwest.com/nfl/seattle-seahawk... |
6/13/25 | It's only minicamp but one Raiders rookie is making everyone pay attention. The Las Vegas Raiders took the criticism of their lackluster wide receiver room to heart in the 2025 NFL Draft, as new GM John Spytek used a second-round pick on TCU's Jack Bech and a fourth-round selection on hyper-athletic Tennessee product Dont'e Thornton Jr. While Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker are established as the starters, the latest insider reports from minicamp hint at the fact that Thornton may actually have a leg up on Bech on the depth chart despite his status as a Day 3 Draft Pick.

6/12/25 | Pete Carroll's ability to turn around Raiders one of many questions facing the franchise.

6/10/25 | More Receptions for Raiders in 2025: Bech or Thornton?. The Las Vegas Raiders added to their wide receiver room in the 2025 NFL Draft, which was a major need this offseason. General Manager John Spytek has identified good wide receiver talent before, so both players have a chance to be productive players for the Silver and Black. The Raiders have only two established receivers, Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker, so Bech and/or Thornton have a chance to see the field often during their rookie seasons.

6/09/25 | Raiders now have a clear path to reunite Jakobi Meyers with a former teammate. The Las Vegas Raiders are in Year 1 of rebuilding their franchise under head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Spytek. This is particularly true on the defensive side of the ball, as both the cornerback and linebacker rooms are deemed to be problems for the Raiders. Spytek let Robert Spillane, Divine Deablo and Nate Hobbs walk in free agency, and the team cut Jack Jones as well, so there is a lot of turnover.

6/02/25 | Jakobi Meyers just confirmed his Raiders future with one simple statement. The Las Vegas Raiders hit the jackpot during the free agency period in 2023 when they signed wide receiver Jakobi Meyers to a three-year deal worth $33 million. Meyers was just 26 years old and coming off a season in which he caught 67 passes for 804 yards and six touchdowns despite poor quarterback play with the New England Patriots. In his two seasons with the Silver and Black, Meyers has burst onto the scene even more. Source: https://justblogbaby.com/jakobi-meyers-just-confir... |
