I'm sure Reid and Dorsey both saw how shitty the QBs on our roster are/were. They trade for Alex Smith to solidify the position and then draft one at 1.1 for the future. Maybe they really like Geno Smith....but they don't think that he can come in and instantly start the first year. They let him sit behind Alex for a year. It's not like Alex Smith is ****ing young or proven that he's a franchise QB.

What? Doesn't Smith have 2 years on his contract still?

There's just so much smoke around the "concerns about his back" rumor, that I believe they have real concerns.

Do I want them to draft a LT #1? No. But, I think you have to be kidding yourself if you believe there's no chance it will happen. They did just trade away what amounted to a mid first rounder for Alex ****ing Smith.

We already traded for that guy 4 years ago.

I think it's more likely that they swap with Philly and get Foles in return but I just hope they trade down and gather more picks.

There are so many guys that could have immediate impact, from Eifert and Ertz to Tavon Austin and so on.

Perfect stopgap contract to set up a Rodgers/Kaepernick scenario.

Not even close.

The tag gives us the option of drafting an OT NEXT year. That's the beauty of this deal. Reid gets a full season to evaluate Albert and Stephenson and doesn't have to waste valuable #1 overall draft stock on linemen that they might not want or need.

No way they pay him like a franchise LT and then play him at guard.
