Wow. Maybe he drops to #9. Its been downhill for Smith since being suspended from the Sugar Bowl.

Worth the "gamble" at #9.

[red]

he's got the talent

but now you have to ask if he's a head case

that would be a very tough call if he falls to #9. you could be getting a future superstar LT. or you could be getting a guy that doesn't show up for camps and cries when coaches yell at him and calls it quits after 1 year to go smoke weed in india

Andre Smith has not only shot himself in the foot but in the ass to boot.

Getting kicked off 'Bama only increased the necessity to wow people at the combine. Now he gets fat and out of shape (AND goes AWOL) puts even more hurdles between him and a larger payday.

Unless he does an about-face and quickly, he does NOT merit the #9 overall pick. This is a glorified job interview. Ace this and you are set for LIFE financially, because you will be a top 10 pick.

How pathetic is that?!

[bobblehead]

yea, and thinning the field at LT hurts my prediction and the packers future...now I really hate the guy.

[Waldo]

Thus far....Wood (Louisville C) looks great. TT loves Louisville lineman, he better than Spitz or Breno.

Jared Cook (South Carolina TE)
A 4.42 40, plus the best jumper by a mile. The guy personally shredded the UGa defense when Ga played SC. They had no answer to him except SC's less then stellar QB, even that didn't matter a whole lot. Kid definitely made himself several million $$'s and probably moved himself into the first rd today.

cooks gonna fly up draft boards after today

and pettigrew will probably fall after running a 4.87

[The Shadow]

Good. I hope he becomes the annual "SUPER FREAK", jumps up into the top 8, and helps the Packers get B.J. the nose tackle.

Apparently it's been a nightmarish weekend for Andre Smith, by some accounts in his interviews:

e’s been inappropriately dressed and has been giving a number of conflicting statements as to why he was choosing not to workout at the combine. Several offensive line coaches have already suggested Smith be removed from their team’s draft board and there’s no doubt his draft stock is falling.

I wonder if we're going to take him off our board.

this guy just had all the red flags in the world go up

TT can't afford to draft a turd here, not after the harrell bust 2 years ago. he needs to make sure he hits a winner

man, i wonder just how much the guy has managed to lose in 2 days? some thought he could be the #1 pick, now teams are taking him right off their boards.

maybe 20-30 million just in bonus money?

[Harlan Huckleby]

P.J. Hill weighed-in at 222 for the combine.

He played the bowl game at close to 250.

I think PJ is a better runner than people think. Maybe he is too slow for the NFL, we'll see, but I think he is a football player. Much quicker than dopes like Leaper say. Sorry Leaper.

[rbaloha1]

Change mind -- forget A. Smith. Bummer as one less marquee player is potentially available for the Packers.

He would have blown a lot less in a bad weekend in Vegas.

No sympathy for this putz. He had a golden opportunity and threw it away.

Someone will pick him, just for a lot, lot less money.

PJ always has been solid but really Snake gets the feeling of another Ron Dayne. Too bad Dayne didn't make it big as I was a huge UW fan of him, but whatever.

PJ's 40 times now (don't know) but were 4.45 or so out of high school when we got him, and with big B. Jacobs doing well, and a fat new contract, it may work wonders for him as a big back in the NFL....but 222 Dayumm!!! I would like to see a pic of him that skinny. You can tell he's doing whatever to get the numbers and more power to him.

Bottom line: Snake would much rather have a BJ than a PJ. Let's hope TT would like a BJ too, as an all-star BJ would make many Rats happy, no??
