Chiefs blew their load way to earlier in acquiring Smith. You had the Raiders, Bills, and Cardinals in the quarterback race. 49ers weren't trading with the Cardinals. They might have swung a deal with the Raiders, but that could also be a PR nightmare as well. Alex Smith is a weak arm for Buffalo. Should have forced the 49ers to cut him or trade at a lower cost. If he was a free agent, the bitching would have been almost zero as he would have clearly been viewed as a stop gap. You don't give up two premium picks for a stopgap.
