If both OT's are there when we pick which one should we pick?
Andre Smith OR Michael Oher

[Mooselini]

ANDRE SMITH

No argument needed.

[RamsSB99]

ANDRE SMITH

No argument needed.

Is it that clear of a choice in your opinion?

And who would project as the better LT for when Pace is done?


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?

WHAT SAY YE?

I think at this point Andre Smith has to be first choice.

[AvengerRam]

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.

[shower beers]

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!

If he declares, then my choice goes to Andre Smith.

If not, it'll be Oher. I mean Eugene Monroe is the only other choice for us if we pick early in the draft.

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.

Our last two 1st round picks:
DE Chris Long
OT Andre Smith or Michael Oher

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.

I'll go against the crowd and go with Oher. Oher IMO is the perfect LT, dare i say it he is eerily similar to Pace. Oher has better feet and longer arms. 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 ..

Thats a very good point.

Maybe Devaney is smarter than we thought.

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.

[tonyray05]

Alex Smith is the best prospect out there.

[RAMarkable]

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!!

WHAT SAY YE?
