Which would you choose?
Package A:
1) RGIII
Package B:
1) Peyton Manning (while using 3rd rounder to draft Kirk Cousins)
2) Reily Reiff -OT (1st)
3) Alfonso Denard-CB (2nd)
4) Lucas Nix -OG (4th)
5) Manti Te'o - ILB (2013 1st)
6) Orhian Johnson -SS (2013 4th)
That's about what you'll have to pay to get RGIII. SO tell me, which would you chose? Put your mancrush down and think sensible. Knowing the holes we have, would you honestly give up all that for RGIII? If you whiff on that pick, you are screwed for many many years to come. You whiff on Cousins, and you pick up a QB later on and still have a solid team.
Package B all day....ERRR DAY.

I agree, which is why I say neither. One will cost too much money, the other too many picks. Either way the overall team is weakened.
Get a different free agent and draft a different rookie this year and add 5-10 starters (not necessarily day 1 starters) between free agency and the draft.
Continue to BUILD for the long run.
