With that said, I'd absolutely be fine with the following plan:
1. Do not re-sign Quinn.
2. Release Cassel.
3. Sign Alex Smith as a FA (I would never give up picks for him.)
4. Draft Geno Smith.
Next year, let there be a true competition for the starting spot. Knowing that we've got our QBOTF on the roster and learning under Reid/Pederson would actually allow me to be ok with Alex Smith as a 1 year "bridge" type starter.

...Why would he sign with a team who just drafted a QB #1 overall if he wants to start?
