I am. Never said otherwise. I just don't like the trade. Maybe he'll be fine. I suspect he'll be a middle of the pack QB at his best.

That's impossible to say. I believe that they made their decision on Alex Smith in January, before they even evaluated the QB class.
But that's really a separate issue. It doesn't have anything to do with the quarterbacks in the draft. I believe there were veteran QBs available for free who would have given the team the same sort of results that Smith will. But he's an easier sell to the fanbase. So why not overpay if it will boost season ticket sales.
