Raiders to announce Day 3 draft picks from Las Vegas welcome sign

The Oakland Raiders are applying a contentious approach to the upcoming NFL draft.
During last month's Annual League Meeting, the NFL owners voted 31-1 in favor of relocating the Raiders from Oakland to Las Vegas.
Raiders president Marc Badain added insult to injury Thursday.
"(The) Raiders will be announcing draft picks from the 'Welcome to Las Vegas' sign during the Saturday of the draft," Badain said via Joe Arrigo of FOX 5 Vegas.
The Raiders will play in Oakland for the 2017 and 2018 seasons while the team's new venue in Las Vegas is under construction.
Suffice it to say, a faction of Raiders fans will be none too pleased during Day 3 of the draft.
