The Raiders saw starting running back Marshawn Lynch head to injured reserve last month, and have had to roll with Doug Martin as their featured back ever since. While Martin has the ability to run hard in spurts, he is not a long-term answer at the position, and the Raiders would be wise to use a draft pick at running back next April.

During the preseason, Chris Warren III was the main back for the Raiders, and actually led the league in rushing yards. While he is definitely going to be given a shot to earn real playing time in 2019, he is also currently on injured reserve, and was a guy who went undrafted last April out of the University of Texas.

One standout college running back who could be available in round four is Myles Gaskin, who has been an absolute workhorse for Washington during his time with the Huskies. In fact, he would be a perfect compliment to Warren, and Jalen Richard next season, giving the Raiders three legitimate options out of the backfield, especially if Lynch decides to hang them up.
