Joseph is the top safety on our board so he's a good value in addition to filling a need. How he fits: The Raiders signed Reggie Nelson to help replace Charles Woodson but they need a safety capable of starting opposite him, as a torn MCL limited Nate Allen to five games in 2015. Finally, he was a two-time team captain at West Virginia. He's also an outstanding run defender with above average stopping power even though he doesn't have great size. He's rangy, he showed much improved diagnostic skills in coverage last season and he's a ball hawk. What he brings: Joseph is coming off a season-ending knee injury, but he's a difference-maker when he's healthy and is the most complete safety in this class. on 2016 classġ (14) Karl Joseph, S, West Virginia | Highlights Where were the reaches?

Autry was a very solid player at the end of his time here and got better every year. Too bad guys like MEJ, Autry, and of course DJ didn't work out Justin Ellis - he's a solid NT but I think Hankins is better.ĭerek Carr - hard to ignore his first few years in the league which were great but he's been so bad lately. Jon Feliciano - Not really as a starter, although I think he has the talent to be a starter somewhere. Osemele and Jackson have had some low spots. Hudson is the best and has been great every year. Kelechi Osemele, Gabe Jackson, Rodney Hudson - all solid offensive lineman. He could be really good on a better team. Seth Roberts - alright as a depth receiver, not super excited about him though Lee Smith - good blocker, nice complimentary TE Out of the 16, the only ones I think are solid and would want to keep long term are: Hopefully we get some good discussion and takes on this, again, please correct any info that is wrong, but it should be pretty good. Some are to PFF and PFR and some links are just meant to be jokes. Here is the raw info I gathered with a few links if you are interested. List of guys I miss strictly because I liked them: Too bad guys like MEJ, Autry, and of course DJ didn't work out (Give me more examples, I cant name them all) (I think that is one aspect of a successful organization, right?) Hopefully we can build depth that allows us to maintain more than 27% of our roster over a two year period. Mack and Cooper, would not hate still having them, but I have no choice to accept the picks and look forward.

I also compiled the info last week so some things may have changed from then to this post. If missed anything or made an error please correct me. I went to Pro Football Reference got a roster from the 2016 team and went through player by player and found where they are at now. This might be long so I will keep the intro short.
