get some of the necessary positions covered and then use Kitna for this year yet.

getting a "stud" QB this year will be pointless if they don't have anyone else to protect him. and having a QB that can do something in that crappy offense will be pointless if their defense that can't do anything.

The question is who would want the number 1 pick? There hasn't been a trade for a top 5 pick in years because of the huge cost (both money and trade compensation) and for a draft without a top tier talent, particularly one at a skill position, I don't think you'd find any takers.

As Luda mentioned, Kitna was traded to the Cowboys. They will use Culpepper as their quarterback this year. I'm not sure why everyone's given up on Drew Stanton, he was drafted in the 2nd round in 2007 and has been injured both years. However, I would give him a chance before using another high pick on a quarterback.
