Segment #1: "THE NFL Draft...IT'S A CRAPSHOOT!"

We all know that the NFL draft is pretty much a "crap shoot", just like the luck of the dice. No one knows how the players will actually pan out in the long run, but Raider Greg will go over some of the possibilities that the Raiders have for players that could help the team. Greg uses as a reference David White's blog from SFgate.com, where Mr. White analyzes the Raiders draft possibilities. See the article here:

Segment #2: "Raiders Beat Writer Jason Jones Is Leaving Football For The NBA"

Jason Jones, one of our favorite Raiders beat writers for the Sacramento Bee, is in his last week of covering the Raiders. He is leaving football to cover the NBA and the Sacramento Kings for the Bee. We will miss his coverage of the Raiders. Greg goes over one of Jason's latest blogs on the Raiders entitled, "What About The Defensive Line?" You can read the original blog here:
