Which really tells you what they Andy/Dorsey thought of not only last years QB class but this one as well. If Andy was really excited about this year's QB class he and Dorsey would not have given up 2 2nd round picks for Smith. Andy has always liked Smith from the get go and obviously felt he could fix him and make him that legit 1st rd pick he was meant to play like. So far Andy has been right because Alex continues to improve to the point he should have won that Colts game and looks like he could improve even more IF we get some playmakers around him. But there were many suitors in line for Smith last year(don't kid yourself) and Andy was going to make damn sure nobody was going to get him and why we paid a King's ransom hence the QB is the most important position on the field.
Albert,Jackson,DMC,Asamoah were all overrated for the $$ they wanted IMO. Schwartz was the only one I hated to see go but then 'WE' aren't GMs who don't know what is really going on behind the scenes and why he was really allowed to go and not resigned. Maybe they thought the same of him as well.
We'll see if Andy was right in the long run and
so far he has been dead on.
