One source told the Chicago Sun Times that Alabama OL Andre Smith was impressive in position drills at his Pro Day.
Despite negative reviews elsewhere, the source said he'd still be surprised if Smith fell out of the top ten picks. The source added that Smith was not winded after drills, despite a report that he looked overweight. Next time Smith runs his forty, he'd probably be better off leaving his shirt on. | 3/11/2009 4:12:00 PM

Mike Lombardi of the National Football Post believes that Andre Smith may fall out of the top-ten picks in the draft following his tumultuous offseason.

It's worth noting that Smith measured 6'4/325 Wednesday -- the lightest he's been in three years -- but still only managed a 25" vertical. The leap helps measure athleticism and Smith probably doesn't have enough to stay at left tackle. He may not even go in the top 20 if teams think he's a guard.

Alabama OL Andre Smith was "visibly overweight" at his Pro Day Wednesday, according to Profootballtalk.com.

Terms like "not overly impressive," "rough," and "he bombed" are being used to describe Smith's effort. Teams will go back to the tape to evaluate Smith's junior-year performance before risking a high pick on him.
