I still think that is a viable plan.
A 1st, 2nd, and conditional draft pick is really not to much to invest in the QB position.
The Giants gave up two 1st, a 3rd, and a 5th to get Eli.
The Redskins gave up three 1st's and a 2nd for RGIII.
The Raiders gave up a 1st and a 2nd for Carson Palmer.

EDIT: Money for 2013 would be around 13.5 million.
8.5 for Alex
4.0 for Geno (maybe a tad more, but that is what Luck got last year)
1.8 for Chase
In 2014 it could go as high as 17-18 million
9.0 for Alex
5.0 for Geno
3.4 for Chase
BUT, none of Alex's is guaranteed for 2014 so a lot of that money could be freed up next offseason.
