Kentucky. Benny Snell Jr.. 100. player. 28. . Running Back

We are going to roll with the Raiders selecting Benny Snell Jr. in the fourth round for the second straight mock draft, as the pick just makes too much sense. Snell is a guy who can hurt you in so many ways, and the Raiders have a lot of questions to be answered when it comes to the running back spot in 2019.

Marshawn Lynch, Jalen Richard, and Doug Martin are all free agents, and while Lynch is expected to retire, Martin and Richard will be looking for their next contract. Chris Warren led the NFL in rushing yards during the preseason last year, but had to sit out the entire season after being placed on IR before the year started with a knee injury.

If the Raiders decide to bring in Snell in the draft, it really shakes up anything they want to do with the position group moving forward. They could decide that a tandem of Warren and Snell would be good enough, but after how well Martin rushed at the end of the year, and what Richard can do, this is a position group to keep an eye on this offseason.
