ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) - The Raiders spent the first two days of the NFL draft maneuvering up and down and they may not be finished wheeling and dealing.

Heading into Saturday, coach Jon Gruden and general manager Reggie McKenzie still have six picks remaining - a fourth-rounder, two in the fifth, two in the sixth and one in the seventh. And they still have several holes to fill, most of them on the defense.

Having added help on the defensive line, the Raiders may be tempted to look for additional help at linebacker and cornerback, where the team is particularly thin. Both were positions the team went into the offseason looking to upgrade.

Oakland may also be looking to acquire a punter after releasing Marquette King in the offseason.
