So basically we'd be trading Albert, moving down in the second to the Dolphins pick and a conditional next year for Alex Smith. I'm not sure how I feel about that quite yet. Maybe if we can use the extra cap space and an Alex restructure to sign a veteran Tackle like Volmer or Andre Smith (Jesus there is a shitload of Smiths in this league) I can get behind this move.
My whole thing with this Geno fiasco is that with the move to acquire Reid and Alex, we are almost locked in to have at the very minimum 7 wins the next few years because of the talent on this team and our weak ass division. Geno may not be the best QB prospect in the last few years, but he is almost without question going to be the best QB prospect we will have the opportunity to grab for awhile. See if anyone will trade up for him and get what you can, but don't accept a bullshit offer. If nothing is appealing, get the guy who will shore up the QB position for years to come. I really don't see the logic behind going a tackle first overall, going from a good LT to a "potentially great" LT isn't going to mean jack in the long-run if we don't have someone worthy enough to protect.
