P.J. Hall Jersey , Raider Nation! Welcome to this installment of the draft prospect watch where I take a look at some positional groups the Raiders may want to address at the 2019 NFL Draft. Since the last edition where I talked about pass rushers, the Raiders have added yet another first-round pick. The Raiders may be able to address their needs and also have a luxury pick.That’s not to say that today’s position group, running backs, would be a luxury pick. Marshawn Lynch, who was a huge part of the Raiders’ plan coming into this season, may never play another snap. Doug Martin may not be around next year. Neither Jalen Richard nor DeAndre Washington are three-down backs. Chris Warren seems like aa quality player, but that should not stop Oakland from adding more depth. Using a first rounder on a running back doesn’t seem so crazy anymore after the successes of Todd Gurley, Ezekiel Elliott and Saquon Barkley.Here’s a look at some of the top players who will be available at running back in the upcoming draft:Bryce Love, StanfordThere is little question that Stanford’s Love is the premier running back available. He combines blazing speed, superior vision and elusiveness with tremendous power. He was a Heisman Trophy candidate last season for a reason. In 2017, he averaged over eight yards per carry with 19 touchdowns. The Cardinal offense is predicated on the run and they always seem to have a workhorse back who makes the whole thing work. Love is that guy right now. He is the lone back expected to go in the first round, the rest may be had later.A good comp for Love, in my opinion, would be Mark Ingram. Love is 5’10” and 196 pounds Brandon Parker Jersey , a bit lighter than Ingram. He runs with similar power and a touch more speed. Love would make the Raiders offense more consistent and dynamic.Damien Harris, AlabamaTaking Alabama running backs in the draft can be dicey. Sometimes you get Trent Richardson or Eddy Lacy. Other times you get Mark Ingram, Derrick Henry or Kenyan Drake. Harris is clearly Alabama’s feature back, which says a lot considering the wealth of five-star talent Nick Saban has accumulated at the running back position. But Harris has a ton of tread on his tires because he has only averaged about nine carries per game this year due to the Tide blowing everybody out early.Harris has elite vision and patience, great balance and strength and is very hard to tackle. He is a hard worker with a terrific work ethic, and even though Bama doesn’t use him much as a receiver, he is pretty good at that as well. Harris averaged seven yards per carry last year, and he could be available at the top of the second round.Bennie Snell, KentuckyWhere is Kentucky getting all these players from? In the last article I talked about how impactful Wildcats OLB Josh Allen has been. Snell has been equally important to the Kentucky offense. Snell is not the fastest guy with a 4.6 40, but at 5’11” and 222 pounds he is a powerful runner who can drive through tackles and get extra yards with sheer determination. Defenses often sell out to stop him, and still can’t. He should be available in the second or third rounds.LJ Scott, Michigan StateScott is a workhorse back, and he can take the punishment at 6’0” and 225. He has the profile of a power back, but with surprising speed and agility for his size. He looks and plays like Leveon Bell did as a Spartan Arden Key Jersey , and he may need to drop some weight like Bell did once he gets to the NFL in order to become a more complete player. He has good feet and can make people miss instead of just bowling them over, though he can do that too. Scott has been hampered by injuries this year, which could make him a good value pick after Round 2.David Montgomery, Iowa StateMontgomery is a star, there is no question about that. He may not be the biggest or fastest guy in the world, but he is a playmaker. No back in college football is more elusive, or with the ability to break big plays out of nothing, than he is. Montgomery is a 5’11”, 216 pound dynamo who is an extremely patient runner with the best route-running ability of any back in this draft. A team like the Raiders who like to use their backs in the passing game will be salivating over Montgomery. He is also extremely strong and often takes multiple defenders to bring him down. He could be a surprise in the later rounds a la Northern Iowa’s David Johnson a few years ago. Look for him as a third-day pick. If he had greater straight line speed, he’d be a first round prospect.

But there’s nothing funny about what’s been happening with regard to the team and what has become seemingly more than a coincidence in how many cases of violence against women and children they’ve seen with their players.USA Today did a deep dive into the myriad of incidents that have occurred with the Chiefs and found that in recent years the organization is far and away the worst offender.Tyreek Hill’s incident is not isolated for him either. In 2015 at college at Oklahoma State, he pleaded guilty to assaulting and choking his girlfriend. He would serve probation for the incident. A few months later the Chiefs used a fifth round pick on him. That’ll teach him.The audio recording upon which Hill’s child abuse charge is based has his fiancee telling Hill that their son is terrified of him and Hill responding “You should be terrified of me too.” That surfaced just over a month ago and Hill remains with the team.That situation is pretty fresh, but it was just last December that the Chiefs were faced with a video that surfaced of star running back Kareem Hunt kicking a woman in a hotel.To their credit, they quickly cut Hunt from the team Nick Nelson Jersey , but that has certainly not always been their preferred course of action.Among the long list of domestic violence and assault perpetrated by Chiefs players is another former running back, Larry Johnson, who on two separate occasions during his time in Kansas City was charged with domestic abuse. The first of which involved threatening his wife with a gun.And these incidents are just in the past 15 years. Since then the rest of the league has been trying to clean up their act. While over the past eight years in particular, the average for Chiefs players being involved in domestic abuse and assault incidents is double the league average.“At some point, it’s going to be bad for the Kansas City Chiefs’ bottom line if they keep ignoring domestic violence and if they continue to select players with those kinds of histories,” Kim Gandy, president of the National Network to End Domestic Violence, told USA Today.The report details the history of domestic abuse runs deep with the Chiefs organization and includes, not just players, but many in the Hunt family as well. It’s not pretty and the Chiefs organization is clearly nowhere near the point of cleaning it up.Follow @LeviDamien
