As expected, the Raiders general manager Dave Ziegler is making changes in the personnel department.

Brandon Yeargan, a long-time scout in the Patriots organization, is the Raiders’ new college scouting director. And Lenny McGill has been brought on as the new West Coast regional scout. McGill fulfilled the same role with the Dolphins over the last seven years.

Yeargan replaces Jim Abrams.
