Top three needs: RB, WR, CB. Although they signed running back Raheem Mostert, the Raiders still need help to improve the league's worst rushing attack. Coach Pete Carroll wants to have a strong run game, so adding another running back to help take pressure off quarterback Geno Smith should be a priority.
Las Vegas has two 1,000-yard pass catchers in tight end Brock Bowers and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, but there's a significant drop-off in receiving production outside those players. It wouldn't hurt to add a wide receiver who can stretch the field. -- Ryan McFadden
