Another area of this roster that is a big question right now is the running back spot, where the team currently has only DeAndre Washington, Jalen Richard, and Chris Warren III as viable options next season. Of course, this could all change if the team brings back Marshawn Lynch and Doug Martin, but they have been nowhere to be seen as of when this is written.

With the team coming back to Oakland for possibly two more years, Lynch could be back in some capacity next season, but Mike Mayock may look to address the position in round one. Sure, Warren played well during the preseason in 2018, but he is another question mark, and Josh Jacobs from Alabama may be too good to pass up at No. 24 overall.

Jacobs does a lot of things the right way on the football field, and while he has the look of a Kareem Hunt, he is actually faster. In addition, he is a very good blocker, and if the Raiders decide it is time to go in a new direction with the position, the trio of Warren, Richard, and Jacobs would be stellar.
