3. Knowshon Moreno

Age: 26

2013 Stats: 241 atts, 1,038 yds, 10 TDs. 60 recs, 548 yds, 3 TDs (16 games)

Career Stats: 845 atts, 3,468 yds, 36 TDs, 26, 157 recs, 1,401 yds, 9 TDs.

With the Broncos taking Montee Ball early in the 2013 Draft, it appeared that Knowshon Moreno’s years in Denver were numbered. He came in to camp as the second or even third running back on the depth chart and struggled to find his place early on. As the season progressed he quickly became the feature back and topped off his year with 224 yards against the New England Patriots. Denver will look to resign Moreno but he could test the open market. Moreno would be an excellent fit for the Raiders as he is already familiar with the division and will be expensive but not out of Oakland’s price range.
