The Las Vegas Raiders may want to add some bodies to their wide receiver room, or they may be just fine with how it is now.
I wrote an article before the 2026 NFL Draft, saying the Las Vegas Raiders could end up delaying their need for a wide receiver until the sixth or seventh round. That was largely because of Jalen Nailor.
They did just that, drafting Malik Benson in the sixth round. And now, general manager John Spytek says he likes the WR room just the way it is. He's saying that just when everyone is suggesting the Raiders go get a guy like Stefon Diggs or Juaun Jennings.
"I like our WR room, I love Tre Tucker, we're excited about Jalen Nailor, we drafted Jack Bech in the second, we have belief in Jack, we drafted Dont'e Thornton in the 4th last year, we believe in him, I'm excited with Malik Benson," Spytek said on the Kay Adams show.
There was always the belief that Vegas wanted to see what Bech and Thornton could do in a real offensive system before giving up on them. And now, unless this is a smokescreen of some sort, Spytek has confirmed that.
Raiders should just rely on Jalen Nailor as WR1
They have a guy in Nailor who has shown he can be that if given the touches. Last season, , Nailor finished with 444 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns. Nailor also finished with 15.3 yards per catch. That showed that he can be an elite threat in that intermediate to deep part of the passing game.
