I've never seen a QB class so universally panned. Most years, it's the exact opposite, as the media and media scouts (Mayock, Kiper, et al) overly hype college players and get QB needy fans into a frenzy.
This year, it's been completely opposite. The best available guy isn't exciting and looks like at best, a second rounder in any other year. The next best guy took a huge step backwards his senior season and can't even throw the football.
While a great player might emerge someday, the identity of the player is a mystery.

And Alex Smith is slightly above average. So answer these two questions and decide what to do.
Can Alex Smith win a Superbowl with his skill set? Answer = No
Can (fill in blank with whatever QB you think is best) win a Superbowl with his skill set? Answer = I have no ****ing idea!
So you draft best available guy, develop him and design a system around him. You already know the answer to question #1 so why take a lateral move when a higher reward option is available?
