Still, it sounds like this guy had a pretty poor showing even after his fiasco at the combine. I don't think I'd touch him in the second round. I imagine him, King Dunlop, and Shawn Andrews just not feeling like getting up out of their stance when the ball is snapped.

no chance he doesnt go first round...third is ludicrous

there's a good chance he falls out of the 1st

Done!

Edit: do you want to just send it to me now, or go through the formality of waiting for the draft?

Let me in on this. No reason IGY should be the only one to make money off of you.

20 bones.

done

just to be clear - if he goes in the 1st round you guys win, if not I do

I want in on this action. If he goes in the 1st round, $20? IN IN IN

I'm just going to bet IGY and Feva. It only takes one and a Daniel Snyder might be more than happy to step up to the plate, and if a scout says Smith was a disaster at his pro day it could be a smoke screen as much as anything. In any case I'm not worried, worst case scenario is I'm out 40 beans but I wouldn't be surprised if he has a heart attack, gets arrested, or got a Lisfranc injury trying to run today. The guy is a mess.

Wait, you're counting on the taterskins to use a first round pick?

Eagaholic · March 11, 2009, 07:44:18 PM

if they can use it stupidly enough, yes (not counting on it though)

SCOUT: "SMITH LOST MILLIONS TODAY"
Posted by Aaron Wilson on March 11, 2009, 4:25 p.m.
Alabama offensive tackle Andre Smith's campus workout today in front of NFL scouts was a "disaster," according to Tony Pauline of SI.com.

Quoting an unnamed scout, Pauline writes that Smith's lack of preparation was obvious as he was overweight. One scout called the performance, "one of the worst workouts I've ever seen."

Another AFC East scout told Pauline: "He lost millions today."

As a league source told us earlier today, Smith ran with his shirt off.

According to Pauline, comments were made about "the flab and the rolls on his body" during Smith's 40-yard dashes as he posted times between 5.21 and 5.29 seconds.

Per the article, several scouts weren't happy to travel a long way only to witness a bad workout. And Smith's trainers were not pleased, either.

UPDATE: NFL.com has reported additional details on the workout, noting that Smith was 6-4 1/4, 325 pounds with 40-yard dash times of 5.28 and 5.33 seconds.

He turned in a 25-inch vertical leap, a 7-10 broad jump, a 7.88 time in the three-cone drill and bench pressed 225 pounds for 19 repetitions

Skip Daniel Snyder... if, by some chance he were to fall all the way to 21 (which he won't), you expect Andy Reid, Andy freakin' Reid... to pass up a guy once thought of as the best OL in the draft... in a year where they BADLY NEED O-LINEMEN, not once... but twice?

Do ya thing... just make sure you write down my address correctly when you mail the check.

No doubt Smith's stock is falling... and fast... but a guy who could have been the #1 overall pick at one point ain't falling out of the 1st round altogether.
