Re: Willie "Fresh Prince" Smith
The guy is raw. Perhaps the rawest linemen I've ever considered for the Patriots. Scar usually looks for technicians first, athletes second. Smith will be available late enough in the draft, however, that I could see them making an exception. He's got fantastic quickness and ability, but his technique flat out sucks. Every once in a while he plays properly, and when he does, he makes pass blocking look pathetically easy. Unfortunately, he often overextends, gets his feet crossed, and ends up lunging for the pass rusher after he's been beaten (usually to the inside). I can't give him anything better than perhaps a 5th round grade. Risky prospect, but I can certainly see the appeal.
