I LIKE IT!
For as much crap as Alex Smith has taken over his career, to see him turn it around and always be a great teammate was a pleasure. He is a consummate pro.
The Chiefs better protect him. I'm not sure what the o-line is like, but Smith will take sacks if he isn't comfortable with the reads. If he doesn't trust the line he will rush his reads so they won't be open yet and too many sacks will happen. But with an offensive, QB savvy head coach I'm sure he will be fine.
The 49ers now have 15 picks in this draft including 5 in the first 3 rounds. Plus they expect another compensation pick for losing Josh Morgan in free agency last year. That, plus the additional cap space from moving A Smith, should allow them to remain competitive for the near future.
