With Alex Smith now he has a guy that he can not only rely on as a starter, but also as a teach to Geno. I see Geno very much in the same ideal that Kaep was when he was drafted. Everyone knew that Kaep would need to sit, which made alex smith the perfect place holder for geno. Now geno will get at least the first season, (if drafted here of course) to sit and to learn. If alex smith gets hurt week 10 and geno comes in and stars, then alex smith will have ground hog day all over again. Either way, i do believe that within the next two years that geno would be ready to start.

I still believe though, that the first choice of Andy Reid and Dorsey will be to trade down. But if they cant, i can see andy taking Geno and figuring out the rest later. losing pick 34 in the grand scheme of things, isnt that big of a deal. Especially if it means you dont have to draft a qb in the first round for the next decade.

We've lost our second round pick for the better part of a decade (might as well have due to shitty drafting), what's losing it again on a starter
