(With the exception of Azeem Victor who was cut.)That stat could have something to do with the teams struggles but it’s very possible that some of the additions from the 2019 class will be counted on heavily.The three obvious names expected to step right in and start are the team’s three first round picks.Clelin Ferrell, Josh Jacobs, and Johnathan Abram who were all first round picks should have little trouble finding a role in the starting lineup come September.Clelin FerrellThe number four overall pick will lead a revamped group of defensive ends that includes Benson Mayowa, Josh Mauro, Arden Key, and fellow rookies Maxx Crosby and Quinten Bell.Ferrell fits the mold of what Guenther looks for in his defensive ends.He has the ability to set the edge and rush the passer.The addition of Ferrell could push second year end, Arden Key into more of a situational pass rusher role which was the originally plan last season.Josh JacobsWith the retirement of Marshawn Lynch and injury to Isaiah Crowell, Josh Jacobs has a clear path to the starting job at running back.Doug Martin was recently brought back and he did look good in relief of Lynch last year but the job is Jacobs to lose.Jacobs may not have the break away speed you look for in an elite running back but he checks off every other box.Johnathan AbramThe third and final first round pick from the 2019 class Emmanuel Lamur Jersey , Abram is a hard hitting, tone-setter that the Raiders thought they were getting in Karl Joseph.And while Joseph has shown glimpses of being that guy, Abrams should challenge Joseph for the starting job alongside LaMarcus Joyner at safety.Depending on quickly Abram picks up the scheme could determine who wins the starting job.It’s also very likely both Abrams and Joseph are essentially starters with Joyner in the nickel do to the high volume of passing. Foster MoreauRight now he is probably listed at the bottom of the depth chart but I think that will change.When you look at the names ahead of him there is no sure bet.Jon Gruden spoke recently about giving Darren Waller an opportunity of a lifetime and while he is intriguing from a measurable standpoint, he has made only four career starts.Luke Wilson is a younger Lee Smith, Derek Carrier doesn’t have the blocking ability of Moreau, and Paul Butler looks like he has put in some serious hours in the weight room from a recent photo but are we really thinking he could start?Moreau may not possess Waller’s speed and athleticism but as Mike Mayock said, “we think he is a bit better athletically than most people think.” Also important to note that even with Jared Cook appearing in every game last season and starting 14, Lee Smith started four games as a blocking tight end, so Moreau could as well.Hunter RenfrowRenfrow just seems like the perfect Jon Gruden player.Undersized and not real athletic but a grinder who has a knack for making plays.Slot receiver is one to keep an eye on throughout the summer with Ryan Grant and JJ Nelson looking to hold off the young Clemson product.If I was a betting man I would put my money on at least three starters from the 2019 class with as many as six. ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — The last time an Oakland Raiders coach watched his team lose back-to-back games when leading after three quarters Tahir Whitehead Jersey , late owner Al Davis brought out the overhead projector and fired Lane Kiffin.There will be no repeat with Jon Gruden this week, even if that doesn’t ease the pain of these late-game collapses in Oakland.The Raiders became the second team in the past 20 seasons to start the year with three straight losses after leading the first three games at halftime with the latest blown lead coming Sunday in Miami when Oakland lost 28-20 to the Dolphins.“Nobody cares right now. They want results,” Gruden said Monday. “We want to win. I think the players see a lot of things to be confident about, but we know we got to finish football games much better.”The Raiders (0-3) have spent most of this season playing from ahead, holding the lead for nearly two-thirds of the time and trailing for only 22:28 over the first three games. In fact, there hasn’t been a single second played in the first three quarters of any game this season with Oakland behind on the scoreboard.But the fourth quarter has been an utter disaster. The Raiders fell behind the Rams in the opener on the final play of the third quarter and then were outscored 13-0 in the fourth thanks in part to two interceptions by Derek Carr.Oakland then was outscored 10-0 in the fourth quarter in a Week 2 loss at Denver before falling apart late again in Miami on Sunday. Carr threw another costly interception and the Raiders let Miami turn two gimmick plays into long touchdowns that have kept Gruden winless in his second stint as Raiders head coach.“We’ve got to take a deep breath and look forward to the moment,” Gruden said. “We have to apply pressure, not to say we feel pressure. We’ve got to continue to remain confident and poised and do our jobs individually, so we can do our job collectively. I think at times we have some guys trying to do too much. That’s something we really have to solve quickly. We do have good enough players to finish.”This marked the first time since Kiffin’s final two games in 2008 that the Raiders lost consecutive games when leading after three quarters. They joined the 2011 Minnesota Vikings as the only teams in the past 20 seasons to start the year 0-3 when leading all three games at halftime.Oakland has started with the ball each week and all three games have begun with the Raiders scoring and the opposition going three-and-out. That has led to the Raiders outscoring the opponent by 18 points in the first half, tying for seventh best in the league heading into Monday night. But Oakland has been outscored by 47 points in the second half Tank Carradine Jersey , 22 points behind the next worst team in Arizona.The problems have been in all three phases. The offense has scored TDs on just four of nine red zone trips, committed five turnovers and fallen flat late in games with just one field goal in the fourth quarter all year.Oakland has failed to generate any big returns on kicks or punts and had an extra point blocked in Denver that proved to be the difference in a one-point loss.The defense has allowed three TDs on shovel passes and struggled to generate big plays after trading star edge rusher Khalil Mack. Oakland ranks last in the league with three sacks and tied for last with just one takeaway, contributing to Oakland being the only team that hasn’t started a drive this season in the opponent’s territory.“It’s a big reason why field position is what it is,” Gruden said. “Really a turnover is getting a three-and-out, too. Getting a three-and-out, getting the ball back immediately can almost be as good as a turnover. We need some of those and we need to get the ball back, whether we intercept it or strip it away.”NOTES: K Mike Nugent has an injured hip and the Raiders are bringing in kickers for tryouts this week in case he can’t play. … S Karl Joseph has an injured hamstring and will likely miss at least one game. … RT Donald Penn has concussion symptoms but Gruden said he thinks he’ll be OK.
