I think the moves yesterday are good in that they make the team appear more flexible, which is beneficial in an effort to trade down (which I don't think will happen), but I don't believe a QB is in any way more likely than it was 24 hours ago.
Which stings, speaking as someone who's a big geno fan. I just don't see any realistic scenario where they go that route.

I guess we just view it in a different way. Alex Smith was the best available QB, whether that be via Trade or F/A. The value of the 2nd round pick is based on who is actually Available to draft in the second round.
Honestly, this draft is thin, so Alex Smith in the 2nd may be better than anything else they would've gotten.
Anytime i hear the words "Depth draft" floating around that tells me that this draft class isn't any good.
Remember the last "depth draft"? 2009.
So once again, how much did they REALLY give up, if they didn't highly value the players projected in the 2nd round?
We're both making assumptions based on Compensation, when we really don't know exactly what the compensation is going to be.
Do you agree that if Alex doesn't receive a contract extension, that that says a lot about their intentions?
