I think you could fairly call the pick a reach, and we certainly gave up a lot to get him, but you are always going to have to give up a boatload of draft capital to get a first round QB. There are very few of them and most of them don't work out, it's always a big risk. Doesn't mean it's the wrong move.
The fact that they think we are win-now (i.e., they think this is a contending team) and that Alex Smith is potentially a Super Bowl QB shows that this piece can be safely discarded.
