I'll give it a chance before I completely dismiss it.
If they made this trade with Romeo and ***** on board, I'm taking this differently.
From the news I've gathered, the Chiefs are comfortable letting Smith play these 2 years out. If year one goes extremely well, they will likely approach him about an extension.
They are also going to be looking to upgrade at TE and shift Moeaki into more of Delanie Walker role. If Finley gets cut, he's a definite target.

I just don't see it. Why would they give away two second round picks for a two-year stopgap? It's absurd. No, I firmly believe Reid is tying his legacy here to Smith, and he'll be the starter in KC for at least three years, until panic mode sets in.
The only way Smith gets a short leash is if he plays abysmally from day one. Which is certainly possible.
