At pick 1.27, if we stay there, the player is going to cost about 9 million with 5 million bonus? 4 years with a 5th year option. Alex Smith is a rank and file QB. Personally I don't see any of the current crop being anything more and I don't see QB as a position of need. Mixon OTOH, I feel like will be a top 3 RB. Dynamic and a game changer.
I completely follow what you're saying regarding the monetary side. That 1.27 QB, if they pan out, over the the first 4 years is a tremendous savings.
