Projecting the starting lineups for the Oakland Raiders heading into training camp.
OFFENSE
Quarterback (Derek Carr): The Raiders are building their team around the promising second-year quarterback.
Running back (Latavius Murray): The Raiders think Murray is ready to become a standout. He has 82 career carries and has averaged 5.2 yards per carry.
H-back (Marcel Reece): The Raiders reportedly are going away from using a fullback. Reece will still have a role in this offense, though.
Receiver (Michael Crabtree): He might be on the downslide, but at 27, he is salvageable. Crabtree is a legitimate possession receiver.
Receiver (Amari Cooper): A Rookie of the Year candidate, Cooper had an SEC-record 124 catches last season. An instant No. 1 weapon.
Tight end (Clive Walford): The third-round pick beats out Mychal Rivera because of his field-stretching ability.
Left tackle (Donald Penn): An anchor of the line.
Left guard (Gabe Jackson): A potential standout who shined as a rookie.
Center (Rodney Hudson): The shining new prize in free agency.
Right guard (J'Marcus Webb): The coaching staff believes in Webb, who didn’t play last season. He will try to hold off veteran Khalif Barnes and rookie Jon Feliciano.
Right tackle (Menelik Watson): The Raiders believe the third-year player is ready to take the next step. His toughness might be a factor in the battle with Austin Howard.
DEFENSE
Defensive end (Justin Tuck): Tuck had his moments last season. Not an ideal full-time starter at this point, but he can help.
Defensive tackle (Dan Williams): The Raiders expect him to set the tone in the run-stuffing game.
Defensive tackle (Justin Ellis): Second-year player has big potential as a space-filling run stopper.
Defensive end (Mario Edwards Jr.): The second-round pick from Florida State is further along as a run-stopper than as a pass-rusher.
Linebacker (Khalil Mack): The second-year player is ready to conquer the world.
Linebacker (Curtis Lofton): New middle linebacker has limitations but is a tackling machine.
Linebacker (Sio Moore): He is coming off injuries but is a playmaker.
Cornerback (Keith McGill): It was a big sign that McGill was working ahead of DJ Hayden at the minicamp. At this point, the 2014 fourth-round pick (McGill) is ahead of the No. 12 overall pick in 2013 (Hayden), as absurd as that sounds.
Cornerback (TJ Carrie): Carrie showed some promise in four starts as a rookie. He has a natural feel for the game.
Safety (Charles Woodson): That's Mr. Woodson to you.
Safety (Nate Allen): The free-agent pickup will start. He's average, but can still help.
SPECIALISTS
Kicker (Sebastian Janikowski): He had a bounce-back season in 2014, missing just three field-goal attempts.
Punter (Marquette King): The third-year player is getting a better touch. He had eight more punts downed inside the 20 in 2014 than in 2013.
Long snapper (Jon Condo): One of the best in the NFL.
Returners (Carrie, Josh Harper): This is a work in progress and will be figured out at the end of camp.
