Bottom line they drafted Carr and Cooper that has now turned around their franchise and saved McKenzie's job. Any other directed credit on how the Raiders did it is garbage IMO. McKenzie was pretty much gone until he hit the jack pot with those two picks. Bay Area was beyond bleeped with him up to that point. I live here and know.
Those two picks are the difference right now between them and the Ram's failure(Fisher's). Mack is our Donald. Del Rio is an average coach at best. Fisher had no roster when he took over and McKenzie was in salary cap bleep. Fisher has done a decent job turning around the D but failed miserably with the offense. McKenzie did a good job turning around their cap but wasnt doing so well with picks and FA until those two picks. A legit QB and #1 WR is the example of how an NFL team can go from a long time loser to what the Raiders are now.
