With the loss of DeAndre Washington, the Raiders need to add another back that can take the toll off of Josh Jacobs. Zack Moss could be a steal in the fourth round, as the Utah running back had an incredible college career that saw him record three 1,000 yard seasons, all with double-digit rushing touchdowns.

Last season, Moss rushed for 1,416 yards and 15 touchdowns, as well as 388 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns. Moss is a powerful back with good vision and patience. Moss would be a great addition to the Raiders running back group, as Moss plays a completely different style of football from Jalen Richard, and would likely be an upgrade from Deandre Washington.

If the Raiders want Josh Jacobs to last, he will not be able to handle the type of load he received last season every year. Bringing in another back to share time with Jacobs would be huge for the future of the Raiders offense, and I’m sure Josh Jacobs would appreciate it as well.
