Giving up 2 more years to develop someone like Geno while using him as our primary starter is really telling Hali and DJ that we give zero ****s about winning with them and it tells Flowers that we look forward to trying to win a championship with him as our #2 corner in 2016 before replacing him in 2017.

I like the idea of bringing in the best possible guy to win for the next 2 years (and that's unquestionably Alex, IMO) while also trying to get a high-end developmental QB in Bray.

I would've loved to move back into the 2nd to grab Geno, but we didn't. Getting Smith and going forward with Bray as the 'new hotness' is my 2nd favorite option.

At some point I have to excuse these guys for not doing exactly what I'd have done and acknowledge that I do like what they did do. Demanding that a regime do things exactly as you'd have done them is just unfair.

The path they chose capitalizes on the primes of some excellent players while also giving up some nice options for the future. I can live with that.
Yet another rebuild would be pointless without dealing Bowe, DJ, Tamba, Jamaal and even Flowers. Scooter's contract extensions and deals made those impossible so a reload with Alex seems to be the preferable option.
