HENDERSON, Nev. -- It's the age-old question when it comes to the NFL draft: Do you pick for need, or the best player available?
And when it comes to the Las Vegas Raiders, who hold the No. 7 overall pick and 12 total selections, they may not have the luxury of picking for a specific need early because, after last season's 6-11 pratfall and another roster retooling, they have needs all over.
So while defense, in the eyes of many observers, should be the focus of the Raiders' draft at the end of the month, offensive players could be in play.
