Gus Frerotte, AJ Feeley, Lamar Gordon plus our current 1st round pick and the Bears 3rd round pick.

Gus Frerotte, plus our current 1st, 2nd, 3rd, round picks and the Bears 3rd round pick. With the likelyhood of drafting one of the QB's with the 1st pick - let's just say, for argument's sake, Alex Smith.
I know hindsight is 20/20, but I'd take the latter. There is the opportunity to get a good back into the fold, develop a good, smart young QB with lots of talent, while Frerotte starts this year. Frerotte may STILL start this year with Feeley!
This is why you don't trade away future draft picks. Saban has intimated about this several times - and you know RS has to be cringing every time he brings it up. Bottom-line, RS will either learn from those mistakes and show he's on board with the philosophy - or he'll flounder. Regardless, he may not be back after the draft.
