Andre Smiths stock has been falling lately because he fled the combine, and wasn't in shape, now every analyst is dropping him, some even have him going as early as 15. Seeing that we desperately need oline help and this guy is a hell of a football player that can start immediatley for us at RT or Guard...I say take him if he's still at 13 what do you all think?

My gut answer is no, because I like to hit at a near 100% rate with my first round picks, and there are some red flags here, but it doesn't take much thought to realize that he's likely going to be the best prospect available when we pick if he is there.
So my answer is "not if Oher, Curry, or Raji is there".

He's still got the makings of a very good prospect, who has shown the ability to control his weight. I don't think he's an ideal LT prospect.

I think Buges would start a fire under his ass and he would become a very dominant player for us.

Anyone seeing Orakpo at the combine? This guy is a stud.

i think you have to if you want a tackle, considering all of the other offensive tackles will have moved up if he moves back this far. and WE NEED A TACKLE unless we pick up a starter in FA which i doubt

Guess I should have phrased it as "I would rather take Orakpo":twocents:

I would take him, but he's not gonna be there when we pick.
