With the NFL Draft approaching, it's always interesting to look at other draft classes in recent memory and how those former prospects stack up against one another today.

Pro Football Focus tweeted a graphic on Tuesday that had Las Vegas Raiders star running back Josh Jacobs leading the rest of his 2019 draft class in career grades with a grade of 93.1. 

Jacobs leads wide receiver A.J. Brown (91.8), defensive end Nick Bosa (91.7), guard Chris Lindstrom (90.7), wide receiver Deebo Samuel (89.8), defensive end Dexter Lawrence (89.8), his teammate Maxx Crosby (89.1), wide receiver Terry McLaurin (88.7), wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (86.2) and cornerback Jamel Dean (85.1).

The Raiders drafted Jacobs with the 24th overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft.

The two-time Pro Bowler comes off a historic season in which he led the league in rushing with 1,653 yards, the second-most in a single season in Raiders history. 

PFF gave Jacobs a grade of 91.6 for his 2022 campaign.

The All-Pro running back has totaled 4,740 rushing yards and 40 touchdowns, along with 1,152 receiving yards in his four NFL seasons. He has rushed for at least 1,000 yards in three of those seasons.

Jacobs was franchise tagged by the Raiders in March.
