I just went back and looked at nine draft profiles / scouting reports on Smith.

In 7 of the 9, they reference his short arms as a reason that he has to stay on the inside in the NFL.

In 6 of the 9, they reference his slow feet as a reason that he has to stay on the inside in the NFL.

8 of 9 of them projected him in the 2nd round as an OG. The 9th thought he might slip to the top of the 3rd round.

All of them talked about him being a good prospect with a lot of playing experience against tough SEC defenses.

Obviously over the past seven games, he has shown that he CAN play OT in the NFL at pretty high levels. He might be an all-pro right OG in the NFL but he is also an above average right OT.

Walk Worthy,
