They need an upgrade at QB and have no definitive long-term answer. Their defense may well keep them from being able to trade way up and grab a guy in the top 10 who could play immediately, especially given the state of the rest of their division.

So if they give up a 1st for Smith and extend him for 3 years (taking him from 34-37) with an out after the 2nd year of the extension, they have a perfect setup to take a developmental QB in the 2nd round and have him waiting in the wings.

But yeah, it's far more likely that we end up with something like the Browns 2nd rounder. The Jets might also be a possibility.

I think the Vikings could be added to this list.
