Smith is the "free agent" acquisition. He's the stop gap. You don't put another stop gap behind him.
Well, you might I guess. Who knows.

1- Did I say I "want?" I implied that's the range in which you are most likely to target a back up QB. Teams don't quit drafting QBs after round 3. But when they do they are most likely looking for backups.
2- I'm aware that there are posturing done in the NFL trade game. The Eagle overvalued Foles because they though Andy is infatuated by him. I think Andy likes Foles' upside very much, but the Chiefs called the Eagles bluff and traded for Smith. Now if Kelly feels Geno is designed for his O and wants to sit ahead of Oakland, he has to accept the Chiefs terms for the Foles compensation. It appears the Chiefs may have won this hand of poker.
3- You may think Alex Smith is "stop gap." I doubt the Chiefs see it that way. I think they have traded for him with every hope that he is at least good for the next 5 or 6 years. It's a "What have you done lately" league and Smith has been very good in the last two years.
