If the Chiefs win seven games, what do you do with him?

In all likelihood this team will win 6-10 games next year which puts you out of the running for an elite QB.

The options are this:

Hope Alex Smith is far better than what he's shown
Hope Smith gets injured, the team submarines, moves on from him, and gets another high pick
Hope Smith reverts to his pre-Harbaugh form

Because unless one of those three outcomes happen, they will be in purgatory.

Or we could realize that great QBs don't always come from a top 1-5 pick and get a good one with the 15th pick or whatever. Not that that would ever happen. Even if we had the top pick last year, Clark and Pioli would have tried to at least talk themselves out of drafting Luck. "Hmm, Luck is nice, but if we trade down I've been eyeing a TE from Utah State that could really help Cassel"
