The four defensive players and three offensive players – highlighted by West Virginia safety Karl Joseph – make up the 2016 Draft Class, and now that the three-day event is officially in our rearview mirror, let’s do an initial breakdown of each of the newest members of the Silver and Black.

The big-hitting safety from West Virginia finished his career as a two-time team captain for the Mountaineers, and looks poised to join free agent acquisition Reggie Nelson on the backend of the Raiders’ defense.
