"Out there" as in the future? I think there are some guys, even in this "bad" QB draft, who have the tools to be elite QBs. Same thing with next year's draft, which is regarded more highly.
But you can't find an elite or near-elite (top 15 in league) QB without trying, and the price paid for Alex Smith severely limits the ability to try not only in this draft but also in the future.
That's my issue with the price.
If they'd snagged Alex Smith for a 3rd and a 4th or even two thirds, I wouldn't have a single problem with it.

This.
I still would have taken Geno Smith with 1.1 just for the chance he turns out to be a good one. Not taking a chance and throwing away draft picks to be stuck with a mediocre quarterback sucks balls. We have done that so many times already. I don't know if Geno Smith is going be any good or not but it would have been fun to watch him as a Chief to find out. Next year still have the opportunity to draft another QB with a top one or two rounder and create job competition and trade bate for more picks.
