Leinart, Young to meet with Raiders - Contra Costa Times
Leinart is regarded by many as the top-rated quarterback. Young, though, bolstered his stock by guiding Texas to a come-from-behind victory over Leinart and USC in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 4 for the national title. Also, Cutler has drawn raves from scouts who have watched his predraft workouts.

Chuck Price, one of Leinart's agents, confirmed Oakland's interest in Leinart, who is scheduled to visit with New Orleans today. The Saints own the No. 2 pick.

"They called and asked if Matt was available after he finished in New Orleans," Price said of the Raiders. "I'm going to assume from that that they might have some interest in trading up for Matt."
