As has been said before, drafting Geno would be brilliant and he's probably the best QB we'll have the chance to draft in the new few years.
Having Geno would put pressure on Alex Smith to perform really well or else he'd be replaced by Geno who has great potential.
If Alex Smith becomes a clear top 10 QB, you can trade Geno Smith for a mid-late 1st round pick and not worry about the loss because you have finally found that great QB.
Drafting Joeckel or whomever else than Geno reminds me of drafting Glenn Dorsey back in 2008, who was arguably the best prospect in the draft and was supposed to be a sure thing. The guy just never had any impact and even if he had become an All-Pro, we would still have been a shitty team with that dreadful QB play.
