Then, he could be Matt Flynn all over again.

Oh they'll still draft a QB.
In the middle rounds.
Basically, you're banking your season (or 2 or 3) on Alex Smith.
The guy you drafted is a roll of the dice.
I want my veteran backup to be the contingency plan to my drafted QB.
If you bring Alex Smith, your contingency plan is the drafted QB.
