The plan currently is to work through the rest of the class with players that could fit the Raiders at EDGE, ILB, CB, Nickel CB, K, LS, TE, the offensive line, RB, and more receivers.

I have no clue what the schedule will be, and I’ll simply just go with the flow of them. For this go around, we’ll focus on runningback options. The Raiders drafted Ashton Jeanty last season with the 6th overall selection, and things won’t change with the impact that Jeanty can make for the Raiders.

Jeanty logged 266 attempts, 975 yards, and five touchdowns while also forcing 63 missed tackles, 24 explosive runs, and all while having the NFL’s highest stuff rate for runningbacks at 26. 5%. Additionally, Jeanty added 55 receptions, 346 yards, and another five touchdowns with another 23 forced missed tackles.

In total, Jeanty’s 86 missed tackles were 3rd among all runningbacks. Outside of Jeanty, Raheem Mostert is a free agent after 104 yards and 70 receiving yards last season, while Dylan Laube has just 8 career rushes. The only other back on the roster is former UDFA Chris Collier, who’s flashed in pre-season, but he’s never appeared in a regular season game.
