I wanted us to trade for Alex Smith (but didn't want to spend more than a third to get him) AND draft a QB high in the draft. My preference was Geno Smith. I wanted Alex to be a placeholder for a young QBOTF. I even called for sitting Geno 2 years if we drafted him.
I've always been in the "draft the best QB you can and build around him" guy...and always will be. But, hey...we got Eric Fisher. I'm actually interested to see how Geno does with a creative OC in Chan Gailey and some weapons at WR to work with. The third year is when most QBs start to "get it" and if we had drafted him and developed him, who knows. I was probably wrong on that one, but hey. Can't win em all.
