But yes, I would have at some point TRIED to draft a QB in 2013. Yep. Probably with the new first rounder I traded down with.

And hey, if I don't like the QB value at THAT spot, then I trade down again. Get some more picks. Use those picks to make our team stronger. Even get an offensive lineman with one of them. ****, draft TEN offensive linemen. I don't ****ing care.

But yes. I'm going to try to find a good QB. I've already got Alex Smith, so it's not like there's any pressure to make this work out.

I'm (and here's that word again) TRYING to get my team in a position where it can enjoy long-term success no matter what happens to the surrounding roster due to injuries or cap troubles.
I'm pretty damned sure they tried to trade down. You don't get fleeced just so you can trade down. It's bad business. If you would have taken Geno Smith, we'd have an immature and unready quarterback to go along with Matt Cassel this year, no long term replacement option for one of our bookend tackles, and no guarantee of shit from Geno Smith who, compared to rookies that were good last year, looks like crap.
