They made their minds up on trading for Alex Smith well before the draft process. It was reported that we had a deal in place for Alex 2 days before the scouting combine.
There is no way they did their homework on Geno by then.
Once you give up that much to get "your quarterback" it's hard to justify coming back and spending a first on another one. Eric Fisher/Luke Joeckel were obviously in their plan there. Even Eric Winston commented on that being the plan after his release.
I think that if Alex weren't available, they may have taken Geno with one of their first two picks.
