The good news - Campbell is better than anything the Raiders have had since Gannon. Plus that means they'll have the most expensive and fattest 3rd string clipboard holder.

As a Raiders fan this is clearly the best draft they have had in years. They actually addressed needs without reaching for a flashy player and even managed to snag the combine workout warrior (Bruce Campbell) they always seem to covet without reaching.
The addition of Jason Campbell is a great move. With even a marginal QB play last year the Raiders defeated the Eagles, Bengals, and Steelers. Jason Campbell isn't pro-bowl material but he is efficient and like you said probably the best QB they have had since Gannon.
Clearly in my mind the Raiders are now the 2nd best team in the AFC West.
