While Raider Nation is excited about the free-agency haul, it is time to finish the rest of the roster in April.
There is much debate about the way John Spytek will handle the draft. The offensive line and wide receiver rooms were addressed last season, but we didn't get to see the results on the field. It could be a draft where they look at the defense. It is still a possibility that they could fill the wide receiver room with new talent.
In this week's SB Nation Reacts, we ask Raider Nation if the team should draft a wide receiver. The Nation is all in on adding outside talent for Fernando Mendoza and Kubiak, with 76% of fans believing it should happen in April.
What it means for Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton Jr. remains to be seen. Spytek added both of those plays in 2025, but they didn't amount to much production. With the signing of Jalen Nailor as well, there will be plenty of competition fighting to be the number one receiver for the Raiders.
