Dont hate it to much. Rumor is actually for a 2nd this year and then a comprable pick next year, so it could be two first round picks :)

And 2nd rounder and another one next year is just way too high of a price for Smith.
We have given up way to much for what looks like a slightly better qb. This really sucks!
Nearly every one predicted 1 or more of the top 5 qbs in the draft to still be there at the 34th pick! And we give up that and triple the salary! Most people say there is very little difference in the top 5. Truely makes no sense.
I may take up drinking again.
Screw this team, I give up.
This franchise can rot!
Not good the 49ers would have released this guy and the Chiefs are giving a 2nd rounder if this is true...:pointlaugh: that is the 49ers laughing at us.
I am ok with this . The Chiefs had no choice. Foles was not going to happen. I called both Coach & Qb coming to KC... When does KC VS SF play? New stadium in SJ I will go :} The trolley goes right there/nice. Tired of all the Chit at the blackhole...
We over paid due time az's bid.. sucks. But glad to have him.
I don't hate getting Smith, but agree that a second round draft pick was a price too high.
It is what it is.Quote:
Incumbent quarterback Matt Cassel, once acquired in a similar deal by former GM Scott Pioli, is expected to be released by the Chiefs any day now. New GM John Dorsey and coach Andy Reid are starting over from scratch at the quarterback position, with Smith the first big piece in place. Don't be surprised if they add another quarterback through the draft, but this trade is an admission that no rookie quarterback was ready to start right away.
With his smarts and his underrated mobility, Smith makes a lot of sense as an Andy Reid-style quarterback. He can help the Chiefs compete right away because the team has talent on defense and some pieces in place offensively like Jamaal Charles, Jon Baldwin and possibly Dwayne Bowe, who sounds likely to get the franchise tag. The downside for Smith: He doesn't have Jim Harbaugh to guide him anymore.
Smith had a ton of ups and downs in San Francisco. Now he gets what he wanted most: A fresh start and an organization that truly wants him.
