What If A QB Like Alex Smith Fell To #15?
 

Knowing our defensive needs to win now would you be pissed? or would you be fine with it knowing we have nothing behind Green and he isn't a spring chicken anymore?

I would prefer defense to help our chances to win now but knowing how DV struggles to put vets on the bench in favor of rookies tells me the odd of a rookie making a huge contribution is much lower with DV than other teams...That being the cause I wouldn't defecate myself if they went in this direction.

I'd take him. But then again, I liked the LJ pick too. And I wanted Harrington in '02 when our defense sucked.

I'd trade down and try to pillage somebody who wants a stud QB...

Either trade down or go with a defensive player. If he fell that far, something would have to be up with him. We are in a win now mode, so taking a QB, even a potential franchise QB, would be stupid at this point. However, I would like to see us draft a QB in the 4th-6th round (Andrew Walter would be great) to learn behind Trent a couple years.

Any other year I'd be fine with it. But this time around our first two picks have to be players who'll see the field this year. 2005 is it for this team the way it's been built. We're playing for now and a QB would be a luxury pick for the future that we just can't afford.

I would take him, and try to swing a trade, or move down. For the next two to three seasons, Alex Smith would probably be our third string QB behind Green and Collins.

I never liked drafting and developing a QB. I always liked the idea of getting one out of FA or via trade. There are too many QB busts, and their contracts are too large.

Just playing Devil's Advocate, but you mean like Ryan Sims and Siavii?

I agree with this proposition.

Agree with tk and eazy, trade down if he's available. If they drafted him, I'd probably throw something through my TV. Good thing I plan on watching the draft at a sports bar.

That was just plain mean. :banghead:

Can he cover Wide receivers?

alex smith is a joke he will be a big time no body if we drafted him it would piss me off more then the sly mo pick

I'm not sure what your point is.

If the Chiefs haven't made a move for Surtain at that point and Smith was still available you might as well build for the future and grab the QB. If Surtain is on board I think I'd try to trade back.

This is a very thin year for QB's. I'm not exactly impressed with either Smith or the guy from USC.
