I like this pick. Just think we could have drafted another TE!

I don't think he would excel at NT, he isn't a real "big" guy, I do think he will be a solid backup at DE in the 3-4 though.

Like Matt Cassel or David Givens or Tully Banta-Cain?

And that's just in the past few years!

True, but do you really think all these guys are going to make it? That'd be historically good drafting. I hope so, but history says otherwise.

Pro Football Weekly said that he was better playing a one gap.

How long before he starts learning the two gap- 5 mins?

I believe that 'do is actually called a "natural" - just like the player!

I'm always happy to see that Patriots pick up a Husker player but LaKevin could go down as one of the stupidest plays in Nebraska history. The Huskers were up on Texas Tech and Tech has the ball. The Huskers force a fumble and LaKevin picks up the ball and starts running with it. You guessed it, he gets the ball stripped and Tech gets it back and proceeds to go down and score the game winning td.

...I remember seeing that... and my Tech friends talking about it the next day. So Smith was that guy. I can't really blame him or other d-linemen in that situation for trying to advance the ball when they actually have it in their hands for the first, and most likely, last time of their careers. It also makes a good highlight reel to see a fat d-lineman running down the sidelines for the endzone.

Yeah, I could see it if it was early in the game. But it wasn't early in the game, it was almost over and Nebraska had it in their hands. That's just first day stuff, the ball hits the ground, you fall on it and stay down.
