Alex Smith would have the following cap hits the next three years
2020 - 16M (guaranteed)
2021 - 18.75 (base)
2022 - 20.75 (base)
If you did this and essentially traded Mitch for a pick that you flip to Washington for Smith with a conditional 2021 pick, then all of the sudden you might have something. With your two seconds in the 2020 draft, look at getting a guy like a Jacob Eason or Jake Fromm as a developmental guy, that's a really good play for me.
Your daily reminder the Bears have used
1 first
2 seconds
2 thirds
2 fourth
and walked away with Trubisky, Sheehan, and Miller. To blow that much draft capital and still end up where they are is a testament to a lot of other good moves that have a very short shelf life.
While some might want a guy like Foles or Dalton or someone else, Smith and his knowledge of the system and relationship with Nagy should be the determining factor there. If he's healthy, that's the guy who makes way more sense than anyone else.
