Tyler Knaeble grabbed Geno Smith as his QB2 after another drafter hoarded four quarterbacks, calling Smith “the last QB you feel good about” on the board. He noted that selecting Geno not only plugs the positional hole but also creates an automatic Week-17 game stack with the Giants wideouts already on his roster. Because Las Vegas pass-catchers like Jakobi Meyers and Michael Mayer can be added in the late rounds, Knaeble views Smith as the pivot that salvages structure while still giving him correlation outs the rest of the room no longer has at quarterback. He preferred Geno over Aaron Rodgers or Sam Darnold, who were unlikely to make it back and offer weaker stacking ecosystems in this specific format.
