Oakland Raider position analysis: Wide Receiver and Tight End

The position of wide receiver is the biggest need in the offense. I stand by my earlier assessment that having an "elite" wide receiver is overrated, but a team does need multiple quality receivers. Ronald Curry led the Raiders in receiving for the second straight year, and Jerry Porter had a few big plays, but showed he did not want to be in Oakland. Johnnie Lee Higgins never impressed and Tim Dwight was nothing more than a stopgap after the failed Mike Williams experiment. The tight end position, on the other hand, is set with young quality players in Zach Miller and John Madsen.
