I could think of several teams that need either a #1 or #2 receiver (Carolina, Houston, or San Fransisco for examples).

Do the Raiders really care about how much it is benefiting the other team? The Raiders aren't playoff bound anyway. Honestly, I don't see why they should care all that much.

Honestly, I don't see why they should care all that much. | Yeah.Right now the Raiders are probably kicking themselves for drafting Russell.

Yeah.Right now the Raiders are probably kicking themselves for drafting Russell. | Do you think the Falcons really have a chance with either Harrington or Leftwitch? Maybe their GM should get the "Matt Millen" award
