They've gotta start looking for the successor to smith at qb, I figure next year's as good as any.
It's hard to tell though, like you said. Hell 2 years is a long time in the nfl so who knows.

I said before all the Lynch talk that I loved the 2017 draft in terms of timing to go after a QB. You get a real nice opportunity for him to learn the ropes for a year before getting max return on his 'cheap' seasons starting in 2018.
But as is usually the case, the talent will tell the tale. There's no damn way we have a shot at Watson because if he doesn't perform, he just won't come out. If he does, those tools make him a surefire 1.1. I kinda like Chad Kelly but that guy looks to have the same makeup as Connor Cook; just a complete choad.
JT Barrett, perhaps? I see a fair amount of Alex in his game and he's a guy that I could see Reid falling in love with. Not a big arm, but sufficient (probably). Smart player with premier athleticism. By all accounts a great lockerroom guy and a person that really loves football. I doubt he gets himself into the first, but I could see him being Reid's next roll of the dice in the middle rounds.
