Which course of action would you want the Redskins to take based on this information?
A. Draft Gabbert if he falls to #10...otherwise if Gabbert is off the board fill another need with the next highest rated prospect left on your board.
B. Trade up from #10 to #2 to ensure getting Gabbert. This would require 1300 points or lets just say it would cost our #10 pick plus this years #2 and next years #1 pick.
I hate giving up draft picks, but knowing how strongly they felt I would easily choose option B.

For the Skins - as their roster exists today? I would choose
(A) everyday of the week and twice on Draft Day. For the Minnesota Vikings (a much more complete team), I would choose B in a heartbeat. First round QB's are boom/bust bets. Best thing to do is to build so you can hedge that bet as best as you can.
