Here is an article posted on Yahoo that details the status of the race for #1 between the Lions and the Ratiders in the next NFL draft.  Apparently if the Lions and Raiders lose, the Lions will get the #1 pick because of their strength of schedule.  That means the Lions need to beat the Cowboys and the Raiders need to lose to the Jets in order for Oakland to slide to the number one spot.  It could happen.  The article also speculates on who the Raiders would target but it is still too early to tell. 

In my opinion, in order for the Raiders to turn things around next year, they will need to do it through free agency.  Clean out ALL of the trouble makers, strengthen your offensive line, and pick a QB in the draft.
