TEAM NEEDS 1. Guard: Steve Hutchinson was too expensive, Toniu Fonoti too heavy and Larry Allen too old ... but the Raiders need someone, fast. 2. Safety: Loyal fans are terrified Derrick Gibson will once again emerge as a starter alongside Stuart Schweigert. 3. Running back: Word is Najeh Davenport - a power back similar to veteran Zack Crockett - could pay a free-agent visit. FRANCHISE PLAYER: None. TRANSITION PLAYER: None.
