None of us know. Dorsey, Reid and Hunt have all stated publicly that choosing a QB #1 overall isn't a mandate. While some people choose to believe they're bluffing, it's also just as likely that they're telling the truth.
I will refrain from making a judgement until after the decision has been announced.

They don't need a mandate from Clark. Drafting Geno Smith #1 is the correct decision, especially since we are more likely than not to be faced with worse options than Geno over the next 3-4 years. If they trade down and aquire someone else's veteran garbage, I'm not going to wait and see, that'll be a discouraging mark against Reid and Dorsey unless they prove they were right.
