. . Chuba Hubbard, Oklahoma State. 4. player. 815.

The draft offers a wide array of choices for the Jaguars when it comes to the running back position. Although it wouldn’t be wise to use a first-round selection on a ball-carrier, the third and fourth round of the Player Selection Meeting will offer some enticing options.

Chuba Hubbard of Oklahoma State should be available in the middle of the draft. As a sophomore, he racked up  328 carries for 2,094 yards and 21 touchdowns. Even though he hasn’t been as productive in 2020, he’s still displayed the ability to run the ball well. He needs to work on his pass-protection skills, but he could definitely help the Jaguars next year.

Devontae Booker, Las Vegas . 3. player. 28. . .

Devontae Booker had a solid rookie season with the Denver Broncos in 2016. The Utah standout started six games and ran the ball 174 times for 612 yards and four touchdowns. However, he wasn’t able to sustain the success he had in his first year and was relegated to a backup role for the rest of his tenure in Denver.

Booker signed a one-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders this past offseason and has thrived when given the chance. In 2020, he’s racked up 75 carries for 376 yards and three touchdowns. He also showed he can carry the load when he ran for 81 yards on 16 carries against his former team in Week 10. He’s set to be a free agent once again at the end of the season.
