Re: Andre Smith..Would You Take Him At 13?

The thing that worries me is that in this draft while deep at tackle there seems to be only a handful of guys that can both run block and protect well enough to play LT. I personally think Andre Smith and Michael Oher fit that bill perfectly but if the front office trades down then our chances of grabbing Smith probably goes out the window though I would love to think that he falls to where we trade down and we get a second teir linebacker in the second round. Plus I don't know how the front office would feel about a guy like Oher but judging from what they said about players last year they might consider him a reach.

Most of the tackle prospects that I see are pretty good pass blockers but only marginal run blockers so it'll depend on a combination of what Buges wants and weather the front office is going to value pass protection or run blocking but after seeing Heyer last year who might be a 3.5-4/5 in pass blocking and a 2/5 in run blocking I'd rather not get a guy thats mainly finesse.
