The 2010 Oakland Raiders season was the team's 41st season in the National Football League and their 51st overall. It also marked the last full season under the ownership of Al Davis, who died in October 2011. The Raiders had improved from a five-win season, their first since 2002, and achieved their first non-losing season since losing Super Bowl XXXVII on January 26, 2003. However, the team missed the playoffs for the eighth consecutive season. The Raiders picked 8th in the 2010 NFL Draft. There were no blacked-out home games after the early part of the season and the team won all six of their division matches, including a franchise-record 59 points in Denver. The Raiders became the first team in NFL history to go undefeated in their division and still not make the playoffs.
After finishing the 2009 season with a record of 5–11, the Raiders got the 8th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. They had an additional third round pick acquired in a trade with the New England Patriots for defensive end Derrick Burgess. Their sixth round pick was traded to the Carolina Panthers as part of a deal that gave the Raiders a seventh round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft.
