Elijah Hood, RB, Raiders (Round 7, pick No. 242 overall) With a 31-year-old Marshawn Lynch as the starter, there’s likely a good deal of carries to be had behind the former Seahawk in Oakland. While his junior season was plagued with injury and likely dropped him to the seventh round, Hood’s 2015 tape is that of an early-round back.
