Or are you saying that nothing could have excited you, since there were no elite QBs to be had?

"Out there" as in available in free agency? Probably none, unless something completely unexpected and unlikely happens.
"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.
