The 2017 NFL Draft is around the corner and there’s been much deliberation on the talent in this year’s class. With so much analysis and speculation going around, Raiders.com writers Kyle Martin and Eddie Paskal reflect on last year’s draft, and look ahead to this year’s.
Who was the most productive rookie from the Raiders 2016 draft class?
KM: In my eyes, safety Karl Joseph was the most productive out of all the players drafted, but running back DeAndré Washington gave him a run for his money. The Raiders first round pick from a season ago entered training camp in 2016 dealing with a knee injury he suffered during his final year at West Virginia, but fortunately made a full recovery after ultimately missing the duration of the team’s Offseason Workout Program.
