I see us wisely taking Antrelle Rolle with our 9th pick. Rolle should be able to defend against the run, be an outstanding nickel for one year, mesh well with Taylor, become a good starting number two corner in 2006, and blitz the quarterback for some sacks.

As good as Smoot was, his inability to tackle was a big drawback. In reviewing last season's game tapes, I saw at least three instances in which Smoot had a free, wide-open shot at a quarterback and just whiffed (Favre, Boller, and Testaverde). So, I'm looking forward to seeing Rolle introduce opposing quarterbacks to some turf.
