Ito Smith

RB Falcons drafted in the 4th. Somewhat of a head scratching pick and I totally forgot about him. Under sized but good juke skills. More about making defenders miss.

I would much rather have Boston Scott but it's going to be interesting seeing if either of these two pan out. I honestly don't see Ito being used that much. More of a scatback where BS has more ability to run inside. Unless Ito has a great PS I see him getting buried on the depth chart. Maybe used for returns. Falcons really reached for some reason.

Re: Ito Smith

Hate the Dirty birds but I don't see this as a "reach". If Ito went to Ole Miss instead of So Miss, not as many critics and doubters. I think based on his production (according to PFF, he tied with Guice in run grade), the 4th rd seems about right. Will he out perform Freeman or Tevin? Probably not but he'll make a nice counter piece in their high powered offense.

I just hope he has no success when he plays us twice a year.

Re: Ito Smith

With all the big contracts the birds have been handing out and with some big ones yet to be done, many falcon fans think Tevin Coleman will be the odd man out and that Ito Smith could be his eventual replacement.

Re: Ito Smith

As long as the Failcons run the front office the same as they have in the past then they will never ever win the big one........
