In the Starting Line-up

War Room analysis
Strengths: Is built well with adequate lower-body strength. Plays low to maintain good leverage. Stays disciplined. Gets good position, and plays hard. Can clog the middle.

Weaknesses: Lacks ideal height. Has no elite qualities. Lacks explosiveness and closing speed. Struggles to shed massive offensive linemen. Must expand pass-rush repertoire. Is a durability concern because of ingering knee problem.

Bottom line: Smith, a three-year college starter, can disrupt the run but lacks the natural talent and measurable skills to be worth anything more than a seventh-round pick.

Dan Pompei analysis
Shows quickness, athleticism and acceleration in getting upfield. Uses hands well. Has some nasty in him. Is neither very explosive nor agile. Is raw and has potential to get better. Can develop as a pass rusher. Would be a good fit in a one-gap scheme. Stock is rising.

I like it, from ESPN:

Smith has the physical tools of a Day 1 prospect but he will slip to the fourth-to-fifth round range of the 2006 draft due to his lack of polish and inconsistent effort.

This is a good pick, Dont expect him to become a stud but he could become a very solid back-up

Odd pick. History of knee problems.

I wanted them to take LaCasse and Ben Obamanu WR Auburn.

Or D'Arrious Howard-RB.

Where do they put Stevenson? He's automatically practice squad. No chance. Looks like Gorin is cut as well.

Remember, not every one of these guys will make the team. My guess is both of these 7th rounders are practice squaders at best.
