After the Redskins traded for Donovan McNabb on Easter Sunday, the notion was that Jason Campbell would be dealt sometime before the end of next week’s draft. While he hasn’t garnered much attention the past two weeks, Campbell still remains likely to be traded either before or during the draft.

Here’s a breakdown of the teams that might be interested in Campbell and how he’d fit their offensive system. Ranked from most likely to least likely:

Raiders: If (and this is a big if) Al Davis is ready to cut his losses and move on from the failed JaMarcus Russell experiment, there’s no doubt that Campbell would be a fit for Oakland. He has the strong arm that Davis covets and throws a pretty deep ball. He wouldn’t be the answer to all the Raiders’ problems, but he would certainly be an upgrade over JaGarbage and incumbent Bruce Gradkowski. If they’re willing, the Raiders could probably acquire Campbell for as little as a fourth rounder. But they may go with a young QB like Jimmy Clausen in the draft, someone who should be available at No. 8 when Oakland is on the clock.

Bills: I would put Buffalo’s chances at acquiring Campbell on the same level as Oakland’s. The Bills are another candidate for Clausen in the draft but if they acquired Campbell, they could turn their attention towards their need at offensive tackle at No. 9. Campbell has a strong enough arm to play in the gusty winds at Ralph Wilson and would be an upgrade over Trent Edwards. While the Bills could stand to add another receiver, their running game is solid and assuming their young offensive line improves in its second year, Campbell could solidify the quarterback position and make Buffalo somewhat competitive next season.

Browns: Cleveland acquired Seneca Wallace from Seattle and signed free agent Jake Delhomme this offseason, but neither quarterback is a long-term solution. Campbell ran the West Coast Offense the past three years in Washington, so his transition to Cleveland would be seamless. That said, rumor has it that the Browns love Colt McCoy and will strongly consider drafting him in the second round. If that’s true, adding Campbell to an already crowded quarterback corps wouldn’t make sense.

49ers: 2010 appears to be a make or break season for Alex Smith, who showed improvement after taking over for the ineffective Shaun Hill last year. If Smith proves that he can still be the man in San Fran, then there’s obviously no need for the Niners to pursue Campbell. That said, Smith becomes a free agent in 2011 so if there are any doubts about his ability, San Fran would be wise to look for his eventual replacement. Still, the 49ers appear to be a long shot to acquire Campbell this offseason.

Panthers: Carolina seems committed to Matt Moore, but it never hurts to add competition at the quarterback position (or any position for that matter). Campbell and Moore could duke it out in training camp and preseason and if the winner of the battle fails during the regular season, the other one could step in. It wouldn’t be the ideal situation (the ideal situation would be that Moore becomes the franchise’s present and future quarterback), but again, it never hurts to add competition. It might be worth it for the Panthers to take a flier on Campbell for a fourth rounder.

Vikings: If Brett Favre doesn’t come back, then Campbell makes a ton of sense in Minnesota. He would challenge Tarvaris Jackson for playing time and would presumably be a fit in Brad Childress’ offense. That said, Favre is coming back. He may say that he’s not coming back, but he is. But if he doesn’t…

Jaguars: Even though he remains an effective player, Jacksonville (or more specifically, head coach Jack Del Rio) doesn’t seem thrilled to have David Garrard under center. This is the second straight offseason that the Jags are rumored to be interested in acquiring a quarterback and they remain candidates to select one (Clausen?) at No. 10 in the draft. At 32, Garrard isn’t getting any younger, although he’s signed through 2014 so chances are the Jags will settle for a developmental quarterback in the draft, as opposed to a long-term solution such as Campbell. There’s very little chance that Campbell winds up in Jacksonville.
