Editor’s note: Scott Bair will provide daily content previewing the NFL Draft, including position breakdowns, news stories, mock drafts and more. Here, he analyzes draft prospects at receiver, and whether the Raiders should select one.

They paid center Rodney Hudson, guard Kelechi Osemele and tackle Austin Howard big bucks the past three offseasons. They re-signed Donald Penn last month. They drafted guards Gabe Jackson and Jon Feliciano.
Those transactions have worked.
