Raiders should pursue another young WR after losing out on Marvin Harrison Jr
Vegas could use another weapon.
The Las Vegas Raiders faced a disappointing week against the New England Patriots, allowing 45 points to a team that has struggled offensively throughout the season. With a 3-2 record and a chance to secure a playoff spot, the Raiders may look to bolster both their offensive and defensive units over the next few weeks. While Fernando Mendoza will eventually take control of the offense, the team may prioritize acquiring a young wide receiver to complement him.
Brian Thomas Jr. of the Jacksonville Jaguars is a potential option, having been one of the best wide receivers in the NFL as a rookie, though he has struggled with drops in his second and third seasons. Despite the Jaguars' reluctance to trade Thomas, the Raiders could consider him as a lower-priced alternative to Marvin Harrison Jr., who didn't meet expectations.
