I presented a plethora of options there. Geno in Round 2/different stopgap QB or Barkley in Round 3/different stopgap QB are just two of them. Marcellus said nobody had offered a counter to trading for Alex Smith. I was just providing several of them.
Whether it's "reasonable" depends on how much stock you put in being respectable/maybe slipping into the playoffs this season. If you place a lot of stock in those things, maybe it isn't.

That is literally the dumbest reason I can possibly think of when drafting a player.

Back to this, eh?
Yes, the something I wanted the Chiefs to "try" (Drafting a QB in an early round and attempting to develop that QB into a franchise player) is SO radical and completely unproven. No team in the NFL ever does that. No team in the NFL ever has success with that. It isn't the approach that gives you the best odds of finding a long-term, franchise QB.
