I am of the mindset that trading for Alex is actually more of a precursor for us drafting Geno, than if we didn't trade for Alex.

It makes total sense to knock out a starting QB the first week of FA right before the draft, and then go get your future guy who you might not be sure can start today, but know he has the special skills to play very well once he LEARNS your specific offense.

Geno is going to play the WCO very well, and is arguably going to be the #1 WCO schemed QB coming out of this draft. Trading for a WCO QB to play stop gap is just textbook ass covering.
They aren't going to spend the #1 overall pick on the "future". Teams HAVE to get contribution from the #1 overall pick on DAY ONE.

Geno and Barkley will be gone in the top 10. We're not trading down and they won't be there for us to trade up.

This isn't Madden. Alex Smith is going to be THE guy.
