I think IF this is the case, there shouldn't be any messing around. If you have a quarterback that you like - available at the spot that you're drafting then I believe you can't take the risk of trading down or waiting. This is the position that will make or break an entire nfl organization.

Ryan Tannehill is not a top 10 pick. He's a mid first round to mid second round pick at best. I don't see Bruce Allen and Mike Shanahan reaching for a QB like Tennesee and Minnesota did in last year's NFL draft. The Redskins, if unable to get Griffin III, should then trade back and use their 6th overall pick to acquire a mid 1st round selection and additional picks for the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Then and only then would taking Tannehill be a smart move. At least we still get our QB even if it isn't truly the one we want, and we get more draft choices to fill other holes along the roster.
