The fact is...
This front office will be judged on the QB we have in year 3, and the QBs we passed on. Period.
The Smith trade. Passing on Geno. Etc... None of that matters, even the trade value, if we have a franchise QB in 3 year, even if by some miracle, that ends up being Alex Smith.

Great.
If I was privy to the information GMs are privy to, I'd say I'd have done something like this:
1) Sign Matt Moore instead of trading two seconds for Alex Smyth and cut Matt Cassel.
2) Trade down to 12 with Miami, adding another second rounder.
3) Draft EJ Manuel, Geno Smith. depending on who interviewed/worked out the best. Not who I thought would be an immediate impact quarterback, but who I thought had the highest achievable ceiling.
4) take Robert Woods with our second rounder to help give our drafted quarterback a chance with two good receivers.
5) Draft Margus Hunt with our traded for second rounder from Miami
6) I like the Travis Kelce pick, so I'll actually keep that one at the top of the third.
7) Alex Okeafor with the comp third.
8) Nico Johnson with the fourth
9) coupled my 5 and 7th rounders to move up to take Marcus Lattimore
10) Bacardi Rambo in the 6th
11) Tyler Bray with the 6th comp pick
As far as FA goes, I am OK with Sean Smith, Fasano, Hussein, Devito, Jordan and Avery.
I would still have my second rounder next year and would be VERY excited about the short and long term future of this team.
How's that?
