The Raiders are a move or two like that way from doing some damage, but they need more than that. They've had talented players come and go and are often not the least talented team in the division, they're just light on the team part. If they can get leadership in place on both side of the ball then potentially-toxic personalities like Suh could be brought in to contribute and kept productive.
Absent that, you're creating another Randy Moss situation for Oakland IMO... the losing continues and player(s) phone it in and collect their paycheck. They need to fix their leadership issues they've had at all levels of the organization since the departure of Gruden more or less. In recent memory Hugh Jackson was their best bet IMO. Now with Carr they have an opportunity to get a coach who wants to mold a promising rookie into a star and build a team around him. A coveted asset in this league, and a valuable tool to getting a quality coach. The rest has to be rebuilt around the pieces that are going to last.
Managing to eek out a couple of wins this season and managing to lose the 1st overall pick could probably be seen as another way for the franchise to 'lose' this season
