It's a terrible move. They had a chance to grab a potential franchise QB but are now making a lateral move from Cassell to Smith while losing 2 high picks in the process.

Matt Cassell redux.

They make Jerry look good.

It doesn't work that way. Other teams are allowed to trade to.
Who's to say the team right after us doen't trade the pick?

I do think KC taking Smith pushed at least one QB down some though. Not from the 1st overall pick--there was no QB worthy of that this year--but from somewhere in Rd1 and 2.

All I know is that the 49ers just picked up what is basically a 1st rd pick. In fact, they wanted to trade the picks they're getting for Smith, they could turn those picks into an early 20s 1st round pick this year.

He could do the read option if asked, but that really isn't his skill set. He is more of a faster version of Daunte Culpepper.

I don't think anyone would assume that. Anyone could jump in front of them at any time. Just because he fell to 18 does not mean he will make it to round 2.

you havent seen our 2013 picks yet

BTW, i hate to correct you, but jerry does not make draft decisions by himself

no, according to reliable sources (that i am not at liberty to divulge), jerry, jason, and stephen contribute equally to the lunacy
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in ourselves. Shakespeare

think about it...

if our GM gets fired he will not get another job as GM
if our director of pro-personnel gets fired he will not get another job as that in the NFL
if our HC gets fired he will not get another job as HC in the NFL

ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE IN POSITION ONLY BECAUSE JERRY IS THE OWNER AND GM

and not one of them is qualified to do the job they are doing

Wow. A top of the 2nd round pick for Alex Smith.

Does he come with cheese or something?

We'll settle this with a good dust up.

Very good example of a team that drafted for need, and didn't even do a good job of that.

The defense and oline (the two main team strengths) were built while Singletary was HC.

Harbaugh's doing great job coaching though.

Remind the class who is the big cheese over at KC that traded for Smith?

The same HC with final say in his contract and was hired before the GM in KC?
"It's little bit like the description of pornography from years back. It's hard to define it. But you know what it is at the end of it. It's hard to define it. I think you know who is more physical. Often times you see that in the fourth quarter. A lot of time the team on the other side feels it. We pride ourselves on being a physical football team. It's important to us. It's an important time of the year to lay that foundation." - Coach Garrett

It also tells me they might also be looking to trade down a bit to try and recoup that second round choice.

I don't understand why the Vikings didn't do this deal.
