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.

Some peoples children. You think the 49ers were going to pay Smith 7.5M to be a backup? GTFO. He was on his way to being cut as well. Shame the Chiefs were too scared that someone else might get a mediocre QB who hasn't done much better than Cassel for his career and overspent on yet another 49er washout. |

If you extend him now and he has a career ending injury this season, you've thrown away a lot of money. There's no reason to extend him until the end of this year, unless you really think you can get a bargain by jumping the gun.

If it's a big mess and they need a few offseasons to clean it up, spending the equivalent of a first-round pick on a stopgap QB makes no logical sense. Spending that much to get Alex Smith - yes, the best available QB on the FA/trade market - only makes sense if you're trying to win now and think you can win big with him.

If you are that afraid of a guy having a career ending injury, you probably don't want to extend him. |

No, I don't.
But many in SUPPORT of the trade and price given cite that the team isn't "tied" to Alex Smith and can cut him lose, but that the deal was worth it because it gives them the best chance to win right now. While also saying that the Chiefs can always get their franchise guy later.

If you deviate from that norm and something goes wrong, you've made a bonehead blunder. If you don't deviate from that norm but something goes wrong, it's just bad luck.

Best option out there this offseason and Reid has always liked his ability.

And I like it that they aren't rewarding Alex Smith with an extention like Pioli did. They knew he was the best player available for the position, but if he doesn't back it up, he'll get benched.
The compensation sucks, but he was the best QB out there and we had no choice. SF had all the leverage.
