reposting this after I accidentally put it in the Draft forum-
Found this tidbit in an article on the Ravens offense from yesterday-
Smith also talked about last spring's draft process, one that saw the Patriots very interested in the former Maryland product.
"I pretty much did everything you could do with New England as far as the draft process goes," he said. "I met with them at the combine, did a private workout, and I saw them around a lot. They have a great coaching staff, and you can see with the way their track record has been they know how to win."
Well, we passed on him 3 times, twice in the second round when we took Dowling, then Vereen (just two spots ahead of Smith). Smith had good regular season numbers for a rookie with Flacco as his QB. Imagine what he could have done with Brady chucking him the ball.
50 catches, 841 yds, 16.8yd average, 7 TDs, 74yds longest TD.
Yes, the jury is still out on Vereen and Dowling but they've been non-factors all year while Smith is emerging as a star. I must admit going into Sunday's game it sure would look good to have Smith as our 3rd (2nd?) WR instead of Ocho...
