I think we do need more picks but I think Miller would be perfect in this system as he is both a great rusher and good in coverage. If he is not there then I am definitely with the trade back to get more picks group. You have to realize though, there may be no one wanting to trade and you might have to take someone.
I just hope if we can't trade out at #10 we don't take a QB. I think that would be a reach as there is so much defensive talent that is more worthy of #10 pick than any QB in this draft IMO.

That's my fear too, though if Gabbert or Newton were on the board I would be cautiously optimistic if we took either. I would like to see a trade back & get a qb late 1st or in 2nd.
I like what Smootsmack said; there was talk that they would draft a 2nd or 3rd round qb (pending trade of course) this year to develop as a backup, while going for a qb next year to be the long-term starter. That sounds like a good plan, basically plan to draft QBs 2 years in a row. One of them should become a decent starter.
