131. player. 28. . Running Back. Michigan. Karan Higdon

In the fifth round, the Raiders could choose to go back to Ann Arbor, selecting a player who can help them in a big way at the running back position in 2019. Karan Higdon is coming off a monster season for the Wolverines, and while he does not have great size, he is an incredibly versatile running back.

Higdon did not play great at the Senior Bowl, which is unfortunate considering Jon Gruden was coaching one of the teams. However, he showed enough during his time at Michigan to warrant being a 2019 NFL draft pick, and though he is only 5-foot-9, he does have the power to run through the tackles.

. Offensive Lineman. Notre Dame. Alex Bars. 184. player. 28

Alex Bars was one of the better offensive linemen in college football heading into the 2018 season, but an ACL injury ended his year against Stanford in October. During his time with the Fighting Irish, Bars showed he can be a dominant player at a couple of positions along the offensive line, and the Raiders need that kind of depth.

Bars stands at 6-foot-6, and weighs over 320 pounds, and would be suited as a guard at the NFL level. Last season, both Gabe Jackson and Kelechi Osemele missed time due to injury, and with Jon Feliciano possibly moving on in free agency, the Raiders are going to need to draft at least one lineman with there ten picks in April.
