Oakland Raiders 2013 First-Round Draft Primer, Vol. 1 (Post-Combine)

What should the Oakland Raiders do in April to help restore their winning ways?

With the No. 3 overall selection in the 2013 NFL draft, general manager Reggie McKenzie and head coach Dennis Allen confront an all-important opportunity as they continue to rebuild a long-suffering franchise.

Over the next two months, I will analyze the team's first-round options and discuss whom the Raiders should select, whom they should avoid, and whether a trade is a realistic or wise possibility.

This initial edition considers results from the just-completed NFL Scouting Combine, as well as reports and rumors that have floated about during recent weeks.

Future additions will arrive near the end of March, after the end of school pro days, and just prior to the April 25-27 main event at Radio City Music Hall.
