Dane,
1)Shefter said they gave up a 2nd and another mid-round pick. All credible reports point to that being the compensation. Glazer said they made a "significant" commitment to Smith. This isn't a flyer.
2) In the last four drafts every team that has picked #1 overall has chosen a QB.
3) Since Blackledge, 65 QBs have been chosen in the first round. Not one of them by the Kansas City Chiefs.
4) You may not like Geno Smith. That's fine. It's also not about Geno Smith. It's about a philosophical commitment to the quarterback position through the draft and this franchise hasn't even shown at attempt to try.
I'm more than comfortable saying that neither Reid nor Dorsey select a first round QB in the length of their first contract here, because Smith is just good enough to manage us into mediocrity.
