ALAMEDA, Calif. James Rodriguez Jersey . - For a general manager who preaches building through the draft, Reggie McKenzie has struggled to find impact players his first two years in Oakland. With all of his picks on the first two days for the first time in three drafts with the Raiders, McKenzie is looking to add players who can be part of the foundation of the rebuilding project in Oakland. "Its my goal and the Raiders goal to hit on my picks, and to be right in everything we do," he said. "This year, Im more excited. I cant call it pressure. Im more excited because of the foundation that weve built this off-season." The Raiders enter the draft with the fifth overall pick and also have choices near the top of the second, third and fourth rounds. Oakland has traded its fifth- and sixth-round picks away but does have three selections in the seventh round. The Raiders didnt pick until 95th overall in 2012 because of previous deals. But McKenzie was unable to find any hidden gems as none of the six players selected started a single game last season. Oakland had premium picks a year ago, but first-round cornerback D.J. Hayden was hampered as he recovered from heart surgery and struggled in his limited playing time. Second-round offensive lineman Menelik Watson barely made it on the field because of injuries. "I want to get it right every year, with every pick," McKenzie said. "Will you be 100 per cent right? Absolutely not." Here are five things to watch with the Raiders when the draft starts Thursday night: QUARTERBACK QUANDARY: The Raiders entered the off-season in need of finding a starting quarterback. After trading a sixth-round pick for Matt Schaub in March, McKenzie no longer needs to fill that hole through the draft. "Thats still a position that well look at, but I think what it does is, you dont feel that pressure that you have to go out there and try and draft a quarterback," coach Dennis Allen said. "You kind of let everything fall to you now." WIN NOW: The Raiders have spent the first two years under the leadership of McKenzie and Allen tearing down the franchise after years of poor management under late owner Al Davis. Now they are in the rebuild mode, but owner Mark Davis is losing patience after consecutive four-win seasons. McKenzie said that does not put pressure on him to find players who can contribute immediately. "You draft for the future," McKenzie said. "You dont draft for right now. Thats not the way I do it." GOING DEEP: One of the deepest positions in this draft is receiver, where more than a dozen players are projected to go in the first three rounds. Even after adding veteran James Jones in free agency, the Raiders could look for a playmaker in the draft. Clemsons Sammy Watkins is considered the best of the group, but the Raiders also could wait to get a quality receiver in the second or third round. "If I feel like this guy is an impact player, Im not going to bypass him just because theres some other good, solid receivers," McKenzie said. "When youre comparing great to good, Id rather have great." DRAFT DEALINGS: McKenzie has not been shy about making draft-day trades. He has moved down in the draft four times in his first two years to add additional picks, including dropping nine spots in the first round last year to take Hayden 12th overall and add the pick for Watson in the second round. "Thats what makes it fun — the uncertainty," he said. "But I cannot plan that at all. I can just be hardheaded and stubborn and say, Im not moving. But thats not my style." UNDRAFTED GEMS: A GMs work is not done once Mr. Irrelevant is picked. McKenzie has done a good job finding some gems in the undrafted free agent market with receiver Rod Streater, quarterback Matt McGloin, punter Marquette King and offensive lineman Lucas Nix all making contributions the past two years after joining Oakland as undrafted free agents.

RSL enters the weekend eight points back of Western Conference leaders Seattle and Los Angeles, but the team would like to remain in the top three to avoid playing in the knockout round. Salt Lake has only a one-point lead on FC Dallas with four games to play, so three points is a must for Jeff Cassars side on Sunday. A 2-1 defeat to Vancouver last time out saw RSL take the lead in the 57th minute through Nat Borchers, but Salt Lake gave away two debatable penalty kicks that were converted by Pedro Morales, forcing the team to leave the match with nothing. Despite the setback, midfielder Kyle Beckerman was still pleased with the effort, and he is confident his team can come away with a better result on Sunday. I think the important thing was the effort that we gave tonight, Beckerman said after the loss. I thought everybody fought for each other and really had each others back. The main thing you can get from it is we you can work for each other and really react to mistakes, and I thought we did that. Well take that and see if we can get better next week. Chivas is a team that is in the midst of another disappointing campaign, and the club saw its winless streak reach 12 games following a 4-2 setback against Seattle last time out. Wilmer Cabreras team actually took a 2-1 lead against the Supporters Shield contenders through 18 minutes, but goals from Lamar Neagle, Clint Dempsey and Obafemi Martins allowed the Sounders to survive the upset. Lucas Vazquez Jersey. The performance against Seattle is one of the best that Chivas has produced in recent months with the team having been held without a goal in nine of its 12 games during the winless streak. We came to play an even game and it was a good game, said Cabrera following the Seattle defeat. The intensity was good; we created options and we scored two goals. [Seattle is] a very good team, one of the top teams in this league, if not the best. No doubt, with the mentality, with the intensity that the players put on the field, we watched and we enjoyed a good game. Those kind of moral victories are the only ones that Chivas is getting at this point in the season with the club rooted to the bottom of the Western Conference and having already been eliminated from playoff contention. But Cabrera is hopeful that if his side can play with a similar intensity to what he saw against Seattle over the final four games, that his side will be able to at least take some points down the stretch. Weve been talking, [the players] are committed and right now, what we need to think is, if we can play the next four games with this intensity, were going to win some points because we have three [games] at home, so thats important, Cabrera said.
