Analysis, DeAndre Washington, Elijah Hood, Jalen Richard, Jamize Olawale / By

Of all the positional groups heading into The Oakland Raiders 2017 season, it’s hard to ignore the potential of the stable of running backs. This was an unproven group prior to the 2016 season with former Raider Latavius Murray being their only experienced back at the time. That year, Murray faced minimal competition before he earned the starting role.  The battles for the depth was settled among added 5th round draft pick DeAndre Washington, (Legendary Raider George Atkinson’s son) George Atkinson III and an unknown UDFA in Jalen Richard. Despite some highlight reel moments from Atkinson III, the retention of promising camp back Jalen Richard sealed Atkinson’s tenure with the Raiders.

Top 5 corners the Raiders will face in 2017

It’s no secret the Raiders have some pretty tall tasks ahead of them in the passing game with most of their competition coming directly from their own division, playing guys like Talib, Harris Jr., and Peters.

In spite of this, between Carr’s growth over the past few seasons and a young talented receiving corps. the Raiders should weather the storm and come out alright. Plus the addition of Marshawn Lynch in the backfield should create plenty of opportunities to keep the defense guessing.

AFC West, Gabe Jackson / By

Offensive Guard Trai Turner of the Carolina Panthers have already started preliminary talks about a potential contract extension, via the Charlotte Observer and Gabe Jackson is listening and probably feeling proud of himself as his hard work is about to pay off and he is going to get a new contract as soon as this upcoming season. He has come a long way from his rookie season and even though he is not a premier guard (yet), he knows what the market is and has a feeling about how much money he can get paid after the 2017 season.
