Raider X has reappeared to give his take on the upcoming draft. He looks at what the Raider Nation wants. Do we want the home run hitter in Darren McFadden, or do we want to shore up the defense by adding a defensive lineman like Chris Long or Vernon Gholston? Or do we want to go for an offensive lineman to protect JaMarcus Russell? Which way will the Oakland Raiders go?

Raiders Turning Draft Focus to Gholston — NFL Gridiron Gab
How serious is the Raiders latest interest in Ohio State LB/DE Vernon Gholston? The word in league circles is that the Raiders may have their eyes on Gholston, who has seen his stock in many mock drafts rise a great deal over the past few weeks. Gholston would probably take over the role of Jay Richardson at right defensive end if the Raiders took him with the fourth pick.
