There's a long running history of bad drafts for the Raiders.
Are other teams finding good players in the draft?
Not only for the raiders. Lion, Packers, and VIkings all have had bad picks before. Eventually every team suffers with a bad pick.
reply
Every team has bad picks every year but some do it more consistently than others.

I'm pretty sure our last huge 1st round hit was Charles Woodson.
reply
He was pretty damn good. You can ride that train for another decade at least.
49ers still living off our glory years of the 80s and 90s. Although the team has been really good lately so that helps too.

You don't want to look at the Raiders picks in the draft I posted. Yikes.

Colin Rand Kaepernick Who were the ones who drafted him and suffered?
reply
Kap was really good for a few years. I wouldn't call that a bust. 49ers almost won a SB with him.
reply
Then he caused all those issues though. Didnt that team suffer for quite a while because of this?
reply
Well they were without a good quarterback for many years after but I don't know if his protests affected his play or focus or if the league just figured out his style of play and he wasn't good enough to adapt. Hard to say.
reply
I think the later was more likely. We see that all the time with athletic dual-threat QBs. Only the really special ones seem to have sustained success.

It won't be worse than 2007. I can tell you that much without looking.
