It's just throw money at him to get him to come to the Skins. Dump Grossman and Beck, bring him in at whatever cost, and draft whoever is the next best QB on the list that fits our system for developement. Someone to take over later. Because I'm betting Luck and RGIII will both be gone by #6 and I don't want the Skins to just toss picks away for one player.
Pick up one or two WR's in FA and draft a WR for developement. I like Banks but he's a preseason monster and it does not carry over to the regular season. He takes up one roster spot for one position for one good run every year. Austin has looked good preseason but otherwise is invisible.

And they could still draft a QB in the second or late first if they trade down. If it doesn't work out it will be far less devastating than if RGIII doesn't work out after giving up several picks for him. They'll at least have a fall back with the rookie, and will still have all their picks in tact to make a move for someone like Barkley the following year. Flynn doesn't need to be all world for the Skins to be contenders. Niners and Ravens proved that.
Everyone seems to be no one side or the other on Flynn. He either sucks or is going to be great. Is it the end of the world if he just turns out to be solid? A solid QB with a little improvement to the D and running game would be enough to make the Skins a threat. The Skins won 3 Super Bowls with good, not great, QBs.
