The other benefit (we have plenty of time to debate RGIII) of making this trade now is clarity for the rest of the offseason. Our top question has been answered, we know who the QB will be, now we can shop in free agency without having to wonder who is going to be under center. We can focus on WR, OL, RB, S, CB with our $45 million in cap space.

I'm waking up on the sunny side of the bed this morning, we got our QB, we still have 7 picks in 2012, 7 picks in 2013 & 6 picks in 2014.

Exactly. I don't know who it was (EARTHQUAKE maybe?) who said, "Would you be willing to trade a couple Ryan Kerrigans for RGIII?"

The answer for me is a resounding YES.
