For us to be the Raiders though, we'd have to view the last ten years as some sort of deferred excellence, and use the draft to find the quarterback who reminds us most of Sonny Jurgensen. Then take him in a spot where he gets about 80% more guaranteed money than his true worth. Also, we would have to pass up any potential opportunity to improve in which it's universally agreed that the decision is easy. Conventional wisdom is only correct when it agrees that Jevon Snead and Sonny Jurgensen are basically the same player. Otherwise, it's just a bias the NFL projects through the draft analysts against us.

There are similarities between this situation and Oakland, but the differences are still more stark.
