Another fun fill-in-the-blank:
Alex Smith is the ______-best QB in the NFL.
I'd go with 15th/16th.
Sweet! We've used the Nos. 1, 34 picks AND Brandon Albert to acquire the 10th-best tackle, 15th-best QB and pick No. 52 in the NFL draft!

You are being kind. Alex is not in the top half of QBs, notwithstanding the arguments about his wonderful QB rating. His own team didn't even want him. Only a couple of other teams were interested. Does that sound like a top half QB? No
I've argued Alex is the 30th best starting QB, There are a couple clearly worse. However, I have mellowed and am willing to say that there might be 6-12 worse. So, he's probably the 20th/21st best starter (giving him extra credit for ascending the past two years). If you go back a couple of years, he was the 32nd best QB.
Joeckel would be lucky to be the 10-15th best LT in his rookie year.
