Let's say they have the best possible draft a team can have. And Brady Quinn has a similar type season as Tom Brady's first year as starting QB.

Let's say Brady Quinn is no Tom Brady. Raider's chance for a .500 season = Lion's chance for a .500 season. Slim or none.

Well the best possible draft wouldnt involve brady quinn but it is very possible that they could go .500 or even better, take a look at the saints last year. If you ask any sports analyst or anyone who has a basic knowledge of the NFL then they would have said there is no way they could go .500. But look at them, they make the playoffs and make it 2 the second round. Amazing considering the awful year that had preceeded. Not to mention the fact that the houton texans didnt pick up reggie bush...

A few things have to fall into place:
1. Draft JaMarcus Russell
2. Hope that Russell's first season was as good as Roethlisberger's first season
3. Get Randy Moss and Jerry Porter to start acting right
4. Get the o-line motivated to give Russell a fair amount of time in the pocket to make decisions
5. Get Al Davis to retire (not necessary but every Raider fans dream)
6. Hope Lane Kiffin doesn't collapse under the pressure of being a first year coach.

It will still be a struggle, but the NFL is known to have quick turnarounds. If the Raiders have a huge draft, have no injuries, and get Randy Moss to quit crying and start playing, they have a shot. But if one of these things doesn't happen, chalk up another top 5 pick for the Raiders next year.

Not as low as one would think. Much better than the Lions or the Texans chance. Their defense is almost set. Their offense has talent.
Here is what I think they should do.
Sign David Carr
Draft
1.Calvin Johnson-WR-Georgia Tech
2.Zach Miller-TE-Arizona St.
3.Josh Beekman-OL-Boston College
4.Trent Edwards-QB-Stanford
5.Marcus Thomas-DT-Florida
Result 9-7 Chance at Wild Card

There is no possible chance. Even if they do get Russel, he will still be playing behind a crappy offensive line, and then Moss won't get the ball and Lane Kiffin is going to go cry in the corner wondering why he came to this sh***y team.

If they get some succesful draft picks they could be the team to beat next year
