2. Take Brady Quinn with the first pick and use Culpepper to keep the seat warm while Quinn learns the nuiances of the NFL in practice.
3. Take Calvin Johnson with the 1st overall pick. Essentially eliminate the role of Ronald Curry from the offense, a very underrated player in his prime. Slowly force either Porter or Moss out of the offense despite huge freakin contracts, and the fact that Moss may be a much happier player as long as Culpepper is the QB.
4. Trade down to try to draft Joe Thomas, or just take Thomas at 1 overall.
None of these are really good choices. But they are ALL better (maybe exception to #3) than the most likely option, that the Raiders take Russell to be their QB of the future at No. 1.
Who knows what they are going to do.

He's not going to be ready to go and if he is at any time, it won't take long and he'll be hurt again.
The Raiders have to draft a QB. DC is not the answer.
