There are some advantages to waiting: qb is a need position, which compared to other positions is the most critical. If another team would lose a starter or highly dependable 2nd stringer, it would increase his value. The chances of someone losing a qb due to injury is pretty good. They could, at the very least, keep ramsey until they signed their higher draft choice(s). That way they could reserve that cap space and roster spot for the rookie(s).

The disadvantages for the redskins would be- taking up a roster spot if they keep him after they sign their rookies. And the draft may hurt his value a little with an influx of rookie qbs hitting the nfl - the impact would be minimal because hopefully teams would view any rookie qb differently from Ramsey in at least experience (which I would expect to count a lot) and they would view them in different roles to fill on the team (because of experience).

yeah, if we hold on to him like we did Gardner last year, there might be a qb injury that makes a team step up w/a higher draft pick. I don't know if cap-wise that's feasible, but I agree, at this point nobody's gonna give us anything.
