Andre Smith still leads in the Database at #13

May not lead at #13 for long...not sounding very good for Smith

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.

I think that's what we all want to see.

325 lbs. is the lightest Smith's been in a while

I don't know how many people are calling him a God, but plenty who have actually watched him play in games think he has the potential to be a dominant RG or RT

Well I feel better knowing that Samuals put up only 19 reps. I don't remember who said it but I once heard that until you have to bench press 225 at midfield to win the game the Bench Press will only mean so much especially when you compare it to on field production which Smith has plenty of. And while someone said earlier that we should have learned from Davis and Kelly well while I agree partially the fact remains that I think Smith is different especially since he plays a position thats a lot easier to project at the next level. Personally I'm releshing in how much Smith is falling.

Damn thats good. Times like this where I wish we kept the rep system though we're probably better off without it.

Here is my ideal scenario in the draft involving Smith.

Trade down with Detroit giving up the 13th pick for the 20th and 33rd. If Sanchez is still on the board we may be able to pull this off.

Trade Betts, our 6th rounder and a conditional 3rd or 4th rounder in 2010 with Denver for the 48th pick.

20th - Brian Cushing OLB USC

33rd - Michael Johnson DE GT

48th - Andre Smith OT Ala

80th - Eric Wood C UL

142nd - Cedric Peerman RB UVA

I realize that the chances of this happening are slim to none but can't a man dream a little!

I'd take either Smith or Oher at that spot, if either one is available. With OTs being a position of need for most of the teams picking before the redskins (BTW- I believe this is the reason why those teams are picking at the top of the order), that would probably only leave one of them available at 13.

From the games and videos that I have seen with Smith, he appears to be the most physical OT in the draft - even if he didn't display this in his workouts. My only question mark about him (and it's a big question mark) is that he's coming from a run-first system and there's not enough to go by to see if he's also as good in pass protection. But yeah even with this, he's a football player. I'm not paying attention to all the concerns about his pro day showing and his leaving the combine - the redskins would be lucky to snatch him up if he falls this far down.

If Smith or Oher weren't available at 13, then I like Cushing or Maualuga, or maybe even one of the top DEs (not seen enough film to know who though, just liked group of DEs they highlighted on tv the other day).

to me Oher and Smith are not worth our pick at 13. We should trade down and draft A. Mack, get a 2nd and select Maybin or Robert Ayers (DE). In the 3rd round we should take Herman Johnson OG from LSU 6'6 345. This kid Johnson is a freakin truck!!

I like Herman Johnson, but Jeez, the first half of that video is his big ass blocking against App. St. He outweighs the the DL's by at least 100lbs!

I dont want to take Smith now with the 13th pick, i read about his pro day today, and from what the scouts are saying it was a disaster. he was way overweigth, ran like 5.26 40 time, and was just poorous overall in most of the drills they did. I do not want someone who apparently dose not seem to be committed to football on our team.

So does anyone remember when was the last time the Redskins drafted a player that they were projected to draft?

Malcolm Kelly?

LaRon Landry before that.

Andre Smith had bigger titties than Chesty Morgan and Morganna the kissing bandit combined.
