1. Derek Carr

The Raiders may have a quarterback folks. Carr finished as a top 10 quarterback according to PFF, and Football Outsiders had him ranked just outside the top 10, one spot behind Cam Newton in both DYAR and DVOA.

Carr has one of the most talented players in football to throw to in Amari Cooper, and his second option, Michael Crabtree, is one of the most dependable third down receivers in the game. If uber-TE prospect Clive Walford ever figures it out, this will be one of the most dangerous passing offenses, thanks in large part to the next big threat to the Broncos title defense.
