For the record, I would say additional picks. Michael Lombardi suggested - in passing - that depending how things fall teams might be looking to move up into the low-20's to pick a quarterback, particularly Henne, especially if the Falcons take Ryan at 3. Interesting read about some of the things that go in a 'war room'.

Michael Lombardi: If I called the shots on draft day - SI.com - 2008 NFL Draft

Real dream scenario, I'd think, would be that Atlanta passes on Ryan but somehow becomes convinced that the real QB they want won't be there at 34 (not sure how realistic that is, it would mean that they rated Henne - probably - much higher than Flacco or Brohm). The the Redskins would trade picks 21 and 84 for picks 34 and 48. It just so happens that such a trade works out EXACTLY by the draft value chart. Pretty sweet (just not sure how realistic it is ... but I think we have to be rooting for Long/Gholston at #2 and Dorsey at #3 to at least have a shot).

21 = 800
84 = 170

34 = 550
48 = 420
