Roster Overview

QB: Derek Carr returns as the second-year starter. Austin Davis comes from the Rams on a 2-year, $3.86M contract as a quality backup. Barkley was brought back to Cali after his USC days as a younger alternative.

RB: Murray solidifies a run game that Gruden will lean on more than Puleo did. Rainey can accelerate well and will try his hand at kick returning. Hillman crosses over the West and will certainly challenge for handcuff carries.

WR: Cobb will automatically be the #1 in a receiver group worse than GB, followed by Donnelly. Bernard is an undrafted free agent from Pitt who will jump into the slot. 3rd round pick Duncan will be pushed by youngsters Moncrief and Bryant who will undoubtedly be a part of the future core.

TE: AFC North tandem Cameron (6yr/$36.8M) and Gresham (3yr/$15M) surmount underwhelming Mychal Rivera. Felton dropped out of the top 5 into the top of the 3rd round but the Raiders will hope he is a diamond in the rough.

OT: UCLA monster Banks was the #4 selection in the draft and is a great blocker (89 PBK/84 RBK) with big strength (94). Cannon blocked for Brady in New England and hopes to rise above bust status. Richardson has 7 years of experience while Manchester's own Watson will stay around as a 2013 second round pick.

C: Wisniewski enters year five as a huge cog in the line. 30 year-old Velasco is good veteran depth.

OG: Franklin protected Peyton and is still getting better at 28. Reed is just 22 and rated highly by NFL scouts. Jackson has fallen behind after being 2014's 2nd rounder, and journeyman McGlynn was on Andy Reid's Chiefs last season.

DE: Irvin is the Leonard Williams of this class and will be adjusting from the 3-4 to a 4-3. Woodley has returned despite his original signing being considered a failure. Ayers and Taylor are still in their mid 20s with something to prove. Mayowa will need to improve quickly considering he was undrafted in 2013; RE will be a spot to invest in for 2016.

DT: Beast Suh will wreak havoc up the middle. 23 year-old Hankins came from the Giants in a trade last year and seems like a fitting addition in the trenches. Soliai was out there in the preseason after being with the Falcons in 2014, he's clearly got some left in the tank. Ellis is another leftover from McKenzie (2013 4th rd).

OLB: Mack and Moore are stalwarts to build the team around. Michigan State's Pierce was the 24th pick in round 3 and Butler will be a valuable 2nd-stringer even at 29.

MLB: Posluszny was the lead man in Gus Bradley's Jacksonville defense. At 30, he'll have former Tennesee special teamer Williamson on his heels.

CB: Flowers joins his third AFC West squad, paired with Green Bay's Tramon Williams. Hayden will be entrusted with the nickel spot until he grows into the top corner he was expected to be out of Houston. McGill was a 4th-rounder of the old regime who - at 26 - is likely looking for more playing time he won't find.

FS: Clemons was re-signed due to lack of other starting options, he's reliable. Baltimore Raven Hill was an upside pickup at 25 who could earn the job by next season. Mays is a second USC product intending to redeem himself if any injury occurs.

SS: Branch holds down the strong side as one of our defensive playmakers. Moore was appointed for his hard-hitting but he will be on the trade block with promising Gilchrist waiting in the wings.

K: Walsh was dropped inexplicably by Minnesota in the preseason and takes over for long-time placekicker Sebastian Janikowski, mainly because he's 10 years younger.
