Mauric Jones Drew (MJD) signs with Oakland Raiders
Although MJD’s listed atop Oakland’s depth graph, their backfield will take a committee strategy in 2014. We’ve heard it from several neighborhood beat authors. And notably, we’ve heard it from HC Dennis Allen, that acknowledges that there are really few bell cow joggers in the NFL.
Besides Darren McFadden, Oakland’s backfield consists of the skills of Marcel Reece and Latavius Murray. Reece– an established receiver– will swipe some passing-down work . Murray’s a size/speed freak who’s now healthy after battling injuries last season.
We currently have MJD forecasted for 156 carries. This truly is among the NFL’s murkier backfields.
Besides, the talent aligning somewhere else on Oakland’s crime doesn’t influence self-confidence. Matt Schaub is coming off conveniently his worst professional season. WRs James Jones, Andre Holmes and Pole Streater will not disperse much defensive interest. And while the O-line included substantial physical bodies in Donald Penn and Austin Howard, they are still enigma at LG and RT.
We advise targeting upside players in the middle rounds of drafts. Now 29, stuck in a timeshare and on maybe the NFL’s worst team, MJD merely does not suit our defintion of upside!
