Segment #1: "Raiders 2012 Draft Picks"

The Raiders first pick in the 2012 draft was a compensatory pick at the end of the third round. Going into this draft, we were only slated to have five picks, but Reggie McKenzie got us an extra pick in the 7th round by making a late hour trade. Raider Greg will review our six new members of the Oakland Raiders. We also hear from Raiders Coach Dennis Allen by way of an interview he did on 95.7 The Game's "Wheelhouse" with co-hosts John Lund and Greg Papa. This interview was recorded after the conclusion of round one of the draft.

Segment #2: "Matt Leinart coming to Oakland?"

As of our recording of this podcast on Monday April 30th, Matt Leinart was scheduled to work out with the Raiders the following day. Raider Greg was anticipating in this story that the Raiders would sign Leinart as Carson Palmer's backup. LATE BREAKING NEWS: As I am posting these podcast notes and preparing to upload this show to the internet, I see late breaking news that the Raiders have indeed signed Matt Leinart today (Tuesday May 1st). The Raiders have officially confirmed this on their website.

In other late news, last night the Raiders fired their head of college scouting for the last 33 years Jon Kingdon. We will cover that story in our next podcast.

Segment #3: "Raider Greg's 2012 Hopes, Opinions, and Predictions"

Raider Greg is optimistic about the Raiders 2012 season, in spite of the opinions of many analysts that the Raiders will finish last in the AFC West. Wouldn't we all love to prove them wrong?
