Raiders draft 2016: Eight positions that need attention ranked

Friday, we completed our "What condition the position is in pre-draft" series in which I gave each position a condition ranging between Strong, Stable, Touch and go, Serious, and Critical. With the results I was able to put together eight positions - one for each pick the Raiders have in this year's draft -- in order of need which will require the most attention in the upcoming draft.

1. Safety

Starters: Reggie Nelson, Nate Allen

Depth: Tevin McDonald, Dewey McDonald, Brynden Trawick, Chris Hackett

Condition: Serious

Fan vote: 40% Serious

Summary: Nelson signing was crucial, but it doesn't change much with regard to the need in the draft.

2. Offensive tackle

Starters: Donald Penn, Menelik Watson

Depth: Austin Howard, Matt McCants

Condition: Serious

Fan vote: 45% Touch and go

Summary: Penn was a late re-sign at 33 years old and Watson hasn't been able to stay healthy.

3. Running back

Starter: Latavius Murray

Depth: Roy Helu Jr, Taiwan Jones, George Atkinson III

Condition: Touch and go

Fan vote: 55% Touch and go

Summary: Murray is the workhorse, but adding a complementary back is in the plans.

4. Inside linebacker

Starter: Malcolm Smith

Depth: Ben Heeney, John Lotulelei

Condition: Touch and go

Fan vote: 47% Touch and go

Summary: Smith filled in nicely last season with Heeney showing a lot of potential. Competition is needed.

5. Defensive end

Starters: Mario Edwards Jr, Denico Autry

Depth: Shelby Harris

Condition: Touch and go

Fan vote: 37% Stable, 36% Touch and go

Summary: The status of Edwards' neck is still unknown. Autry played well at times last season, but a third defensive end to the mix is needed to put the coaches minds at ease.

6. Cornerback

Starters: David Amerson, Sean Smith

Depth: TJ Carrie, Neiko Thorpe, DJ Hayden, Keith McGill, Dexter McDonald, SaQwan Edwards

Condition: Touch and go

Fan vote: 52% Stable, 34% Touch and go

Summary: Amerson and Smith give the Raiders a good looking starting duo with Carrie at the nickel. After that...

7. Defensive tackle

Starters: Dan Williams, Justin Ellis

Depth: Stacy McGee, Leon Orr

Condition: Touch and go

Fan vote: 53% Stable, 36% Touch and go

Summary: Williams had a great season last year, but he belongs at nose tackle so a 3-tech DT is needed.

8. Wide receiver

Starters: Amari Cooper, Michael Crabtree

Depth: Seth Roberts, Andre Holmes, Andre Debose

Condition: Stable

Fan vote: 51% Stable

Summary: Cooper and Crabtree are a potent combo and Roberts showed himself to be a capable third option. Perhaps a speedy slot receiver would be in order.
