Ranking AFC West safeties: Newcomer Marcus Epps leads the way for Raiders

Compared to the other teams in the AFC West, the Las Vegas Raiders’ safety room is pretty lackluster.

For four years now, Derwin James has established himself as one of the most versatile players in the NFL. Of his 835 snaps last season, 330 came in the box, 270 were at free safety and he was over the slot for 154 while mixing in a handful of reps on the line of scrimmage and as a wide corner.
