Re: Andre Smith..Would You Take Him At 13?
Not NO, but HELL NO! At 13 what are we looking at 10-12M guaranteed? On a guy who comes to the most important, high profile, job interview in front of the entire NFL coaches/scouts, not to mention media, out of shape and then just decides to leave and tell no one. On top of this, he was suspended from his bowl game for improper contact with an agent. Here's a quote from Smith in a USA Today article, "Smith, who also was suspended from the Sugar Bowl for improper dealings with an agent and acknowledged having weight fluctuations, said Thursday that he became a left tackle because his father told him it was the "highest-paid position."
Immature and selfish, he's not 13 yrs. old he's 21+. We can do much better at pick #13. Oher, Raji, Orakpo or trade down and let some other team shell out 8 figures to this knucklehead.
