Some Raiders fans may see the No. 1 pick as a cure-all, but it's really only a start on the way toward being a legit contender.
Once upon a time, in his role as a broadcaster, legendary former Raiders' head coach John Madden said, to paraphrase, a "great quarterback is a great deodorant." To put it in plainer terms, a great quarterback can cover up a lot of things that stink on a football team. It was an obvious but spot-on sentiment from Madden, and we always see clear evidence of it.
