You would think, but it's not so.
The weapons around Smith have increased exponentially since his arrival yet his production hasn't.
He's gone from Bowe, Avery and Fasano to Maclin, Hill and Kelce yet it's had negligible impact on his ability to produce points/yards. His line has improved significantly to no real effect as well.
At this point Smith has a top 10 OL and top 5 skill position players, IMO and with that he's been able to accomplish pretty much the same whole lotta meh that he was able to accomplish when he was surrounded with rags.
There's no sense at all in throwing more draft capital at woobies for Alex Smith; there's nothing out there that will appreciably raise his ceiling.
