ANDRE SMITH
No argument needed.
Is it that clear of a choice in your opinion?Quote:

I honestly can't say because I have not seen enough games of the two. I have only seen a few highlights here and there.
Unfortunately, I'm actually thinking the exact opposite scenario is all too possible; what are we going to do if NEITHER one is available when we pick at #3?Quote:

Right now, it seems that the concensus is to give the nod to Smith. Of course, he has not declared yet.
Either players are potentially as good or better than Jake Long.
I'd gladly take either one, but Smith seems like the better pick of the two, right now. I was able to watch him last week and he was pile driving people. Seriously, the Undertaker called in and told him to stop. True Story.
CRAP! I keep forgetting that he is a junior!Quote:

It'll be tough. But if Andre Smith declares and he falls in our laps, we'd be stupid to pass...
Probably depends on the new offensive scheme. I think Smith would be better in a power blocking scheme where Oher would excel in a zone blocking system.
However, in a PERFECT world, with both on the board, we keep trading down one spot at a time until one of them is selected. Then we take the other and pocket the accumulated picks. But then again, in a perfect world I look like Brad Pitt.
Interesting that you mention that because several Rams fans would have liked to have had Jake Long slip to us last year. This could actually work out better.Quote:

That could windup much better then:
OT Jake Long
DE ? or Not take DE
I disagree with your first statement. They both should be in a power blocking scheme in my opinion IMO.Quote:

Smith is powerful and a mauler, but he has a short and squatty build, that may be better suited at guard. I think they will both end up being dominant players, but I Oher will be more dominat at LT while Smith may be dominant at a position besides LT like a Steve Hutchinson type at guard.
We could do alot worse than Eugene Monroe .. He should transition well to the NFL. The way we're playing however, we may have our pick of all three ..Quote:

Well I doubt my statement is true. Who knew how we would do this season. However, you make probably the best point I've read all day.
Alex Smith is the best prospect out there.
I hope that you were referring to ANDRE Smith. Heck Alex can't even play QB for the Whiners let alone OT. LOL!!Quote:
