Josh JacobsRBGB
Brandon Thorn expects Josh Jacobs' yards before contact to improve significantly under the Kubiak system compared to last year's horrific baseline; Thorn cites the play-action heavy, zone-oriented run game and upgraded coaching infrastructure (Rick Dennison, Clint Kubiak) as reasons to be comfortable drafting Jacobs at 11, 12, 13, or 14 overall, noting that the Raiders' offensive line will no longer consistently hit him in the backfield on touch.
