If the Chiefs go 8-8 or better 49ers get a 2nd round pick.
A third- or second-rounder from Kansas City, the remnant of the Alex Smith deal. Now it can be told: The second draft choice San Francisco will receive from the Smith deal will be K.C.'s second-rounder in 2014 if the Chiefs go 8-8 or better this season. It will be a third-rounder in 2014 if Kansas City is under .500 this season.
So: San Francisco will probably have first-, second- and four third-rounders next year. But if the Chiefs surprise, it'll more likely be a one, two twos and three threes. As we've seen, GM Trent Baalke is dangerous with extra picks in his hands. If Colin Kaepernick is very good, the Niners should be annual contenders for years with the picks laid out that way.

No one would have much of a beef with the critics of the Alex Smith trade if you guys just said you don't have any confidence in him and that you think it's a waste of draft picks.
Instead, the critics typically go way beyond that to declare Alex Smith DOA and to accuse anyone who even wants to take a wait and see position on the trade of being happy with mediocrity.

Sure, I get what you're saying. But my take would be that if the Chiefs really saw enough in Bray to "like him as the future" in any real sense of the phrase, they would have spent a draft pick on him, if for no other reason than to gain control of him. Given Bray's physical gifts, I'll amend my position and say that he's like a lottery ticket where you're spotted the powerball number.

We have two options...either go 7-9 or worse, or win at least one playoff game. Anything else is total fail.

If we go 10-6, win a playoff game, I'd say it was money well spent.

Unless it turns into a catastrophe or an unmistakable success, I think giving this trade a final grade after one year will be premature. In all likelihood, Alex Smith will get extended and be the Chiefs QB for at least the next 2-3 years.

I don't think he's extended until next offseason, if he is, so you'll likely know by then.

Most thought this was a borderline playoff team with the talent last year. We upgraded this offseason. I don't see why we can't be a playoff team. If we aren't, this move was obviously the wrong move. |

We're neither. That's why this trade was stupid.

But judging by what they gave up, it looks like the FO think they are or they have a chance to be. So, I'm going to have the same expectation I guess, I dunno, I'm just not going to get too awful worked up about it. I'll just be happy to see meaningful football in KC where we could/will actually beat good teams and the chance to win in the playoffs. |

I have tried repeatedly to remain positive when they keep doing the same darn thing over and over again. Pretty soon you have to look the horse right in the mouth and say, damn, you are not winning the Kentucky Derby as a Shetland Pony no matter how much I like you. |

hate to be pessimistic but this trade was ****ing stupid
it sets up for 8-8, losing another second rounder why the **** did we not just walk away if 2.1 in 2013 wasnt enough? It seems like we gave up the booty way to easy to me...
