Ranking The Top Quarterback Draft Classes Of The Last 10 Years from Sports Illustrated

The early results were not there for 2005's No. 1 overall pick, Alex Smith, during his first six seasons in San Francisco, in part due to the procession of 49ers' head coaches and offensive coordinators with which he was saddled. But Smith's career took off under coach Jim Harbaugh when it was in last-chance mode in 2011, with the 49ers reaching the NFC title game. And Smith was turning in more strong work in 2012, when he lost his starting job to second-year man Colin Kaepernick while injured. Traded to Kansas City in 2013, Smith helped revive the Chiefs' fortunes with a 9-0 start, an 11-5 wild-card playoff berth and an impressive playoff performance in that memorable K.C. first-round loss to the comeback-minded Colts.
