The Las Vegas Raiders are doing their homework early on wide receiver prospects for the 2026 NFL Draft. The team has already brought in Texas A&M's KC Concepcion for a visit, according to sources.
Concepcion had a solid 2025 season with 61 catches for 919 yards and nine touchdowns. Draft experts project him as a late first-round or early second-round pick.
Other names on the Raiders' radar include Texas receiver Matthew Golden, who could be available at pick No. 37 in the second round. Golden would give the Raiders another weapon to play alongside current receiver Jakobi Meyers.
ESPN analyst Mina Kimes has suggested the Raiders might trade back into the first round to get Washington receiver Denzel Boston. This shows the team is willing to be aggressive to get their target.
The Raiders are looking for receivers who can make an immediate impact. They want players who can stretch the field and create mismatches for opposing defenses.
The Raiders need playmakers to improve their offense. Getting the right receiver could determine whether the team becomes competitive or continues struggling to score points and win games.
Watch for more prospect visits as the draft approaches and potential trades to move up for their preferred targets.
