Andre Smith still leads in the Database at #13

So does anyone remember when was the last time the Redskins drafted a player that they were projected to draft?Malcolm Kelly?

LaRon Landry before that.

Andre Smith had bigger titties than Chesty Morgan and Morganna the kissing bandit combined.

IF the Skins are set on a taking tackle in the 1st round, I'd say Eben Britton over Andre Smith at this point for sure. Anyone who was tempted to give him a pass for his scouting combine debacle need look no further than his pro day today. The fact that he pissed all over the two most important job interviews he'll ever have speaks volumes IMO. He's either lazy or was somehow massively overvalued in college. Either way I want no part of him with the 13th pick. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice... well, you get it.

19 reps at 225lbs on the bench press? Really dude? I'm 100lbs lighter and 8 years older and I can do that. "Bombed, one of the worst workouts I've ever seen, he lost millions today," were amongst the comments from pro scouts after his workout today. Ick.

I utterly agree.

I'll bet all of this talk is moot because I'll bet the Skins trade down.

But, if not, you can't take such a chance with pick 13 as Andre represents. Use the pick on one of the other tackles who actually takes entering the NFL seriously.

I've read that Smith still looked pretty good but would have looked a whole lot better had he been working out, and a guy who does'nt work out at this level isn't going to work out at the next level after handing him 30 million dollars. I thought that was an interesting point.

to me Oher and Smith are not worth our pick at 13. We should trade down and draft A. Mack, get a 2nd and select Maybin or Robert Ayers (DE). In the 3rd round we should take Herman Johnson OG from LSU 6'6 345. This kid Johnson is a freakin truck!!

I like Herman Johnson, but Jeez, the first half of that video is his big ass blocking against App. St. He outweighs the the DL's by at least 100lbs!

I just have a bad feeling about this guy.

bad pro day numbers. 19 reps? 5.3 aint great either, but it's less important.

LT's generally have long arms which lowers their rep totals. I would be more worried about his weight becoming an issue and him breaking down as he gets older...or his weight being an indicator that he is not a hard worker. I also read that he has always been a chubby guy so it could just be his genes.

Because it deemphasizes the RT need significantly. You'd only take a Center at No. 13 if you were absoultely confident that he would start on day one and would not need competition for the next five years, obviously. Equally obviously, if you could get a franchise type tackle that fits all the same critera, you'd pass on the Center for the tackle.

But if you are comparing a flawed Tackle prospect to an ideal Center prospect, you'd obviously go with the Center. It's just a big whos' available game.

Very well put.

Going off the FA market I think LB is a lock for our first pick in the draft. There's very little FA talent at the position available and that probably won't change. Jason Smith, Monroe and Oher will almost certainly be gone by 13 and I tend to agree now w/ those who think Andre is too risky. Basically w/ all the LT talent in the draft you can bet some teams will cut their current tackles, who would almost all be an upgrade over Jansen/Heyer.

... i think the question is whether we take a LB at 13 or trade down and take one at 20 or thereabouts. Either scenario is fine by me as long as the guy is a legit starter for us.
