Raiders fourth-round rookie highlighted as potential early starter

The Las Vegas Raiders are expecting their rookie class to step up right away as they hope to begin the push to contention.

Running back Ashton Jeanty and wide receiver Jack Bech are expected to start right away, as the Raiders selected both in the first two rounds. Other selections, such as third-round cornerback Darien Porter, have clear paths to a starting spot, while others will be more relied upon for depth at this point of their careers. So long as they provide positive contributions, however, the Raiders certainly will not mind.

In fact, one Day Three selection of the Raiders could be ready for starts sooner than anticipated.
