HENDERSON, Nev. -- Las Vegas Raiders general manager John Spytek didn't want to talk about specific prospects during Friday's pre-draft news conference. That includes Boise State's Ashton Jeanty, who has been linked to the organization throughout the draft process.
However, Spytek made it clear that he's a strong believer in taking a running back high in the draft.
"I mean we just saw Saquon Barkley just change the Eagles in one year," said Spytek during Friday's pre-draft news conference. "...There's certain ways to build a team, and I don't know where we got to a place where we don't feel like running backs are valued.
