Headline Sports podcast Bruce MacGowan:

#1 Bruce, the San Francisco 49ers made it their mission to get first round draft pick pass rusher Mykel Williams. The 49ers had their eye on Williams but pumped the brakes two seasons ago because Williams had suffered an high ankle sprain. He recovered since and 49ers general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan hope to use Williams as a key and core person on the 49ers defense.

#2 The Las Vegas Raiders made a great choice in getting running back Ashton Jeanty as their top pick in the draft. Jeanty was one of the most effective running backs in college football last season at Boise State and Raiders head coach Pete Carroll is confident that Jeanty will end up being the number one running back for the Raiders in the future.

#3 The Las Vegas Review Journal ran a headline that the Athletics still have not come up with the $1.75 billion as the A’s had said in a March 5th Las Vegas Stadium Authority meeting that the would have the money and would be ready by June to have shovels in ground. The article questions when will the A’s fund the park and there is a possibility it may not happen.

#4 The Golden State Warriors Jimmy Butler is still questionable for game 4 for Monday night against the Houston Rockets at the Chase Center in San Francisco. Butler who suffered a lower back contusion after getting his legs taken out from beneath him and missed game 3. Can Butler return and be playoff competitive Monday.

#4 Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce has made it clear that the quarterback job is for the one who wants it most. Either Aidan O’Connell or Gardner Minshew. “I’d like to see — again, I’m going to keep saying it — somebody to just take it and say, ‘I’m the guy, Pierce told the AP during practice this week in Henderson NV “Make it clear and evident, and then we’ll make that decision at that point.”

#5 Raiders wide receiver Devante Adams said last season you saw raw emotion that there weren’t always the brightest points but said there was also some good moments too. Adams says that he’s in a good place right now and is happy to be in camp with the Raiders.
