How about no

I'm fine with it if we aren't able to draft a rookie QB that will be ready to play immediately. Ideally we would move on from Smith but there are multiple teams that will look for new QBs so our options might be limited.

Yeah, I'm fine with that too. If he finishes the season strong and healthy, and he wants to keep playing, why not bring him back? A Smith is more than capable of running this offense for another year if healthy.

That doesn't mean that if things break your way in the draft, that you don't draft his replacement. They should absolutely be looking at drafting a QB next year. However, they might not like the options at their pick - at least not someone to come in and start right away.
