Smith is also 6-4 258, not 6-7 230.

That is an enormous difference.

He's skinny, and has injury problems. And as others have pointed out once an OG or OT get their hands on him he's done. The next time he disengages from a block will be the 1st time he disengages from a block

I wouldn't touch this guy until the late 1st early 2nd round.[/QUOTThat guy Aldon Smith is 258 w/ 19.5 sacks I dont think 10 pounds will make that much of a difference especially when its going to be muscle

Aldon Smith has thus far proven ineffective without Justin Smith in the middle. I think Aldon is a system player benefiting from the players around him. Not saying he isn't a decent player, but he is a bit overrated. He's still bigger than Dion Jordan however.

I am not high on him at all. He seems brittle and not enough of an all around player. If we trade back and get him later on, then maybe, but let's not forget that you have to find a trade partner. That's not a guarantee.

I hope we trade down for more picks, OLB are fairly deep, I hope we go with a hogg of a DT first then a big lb. to play inside, one that's very physical, I have a feeling our 1st pick will be on the O, just not sure where.

once again it all about the hype and upside

now his insights on Kevin Minter and Kenny Vaccaro are about the players

I don't want a DT with the first pick... that's never worked out for us...

Shame on you after you gave me a hard time when I was b*tching that first rounders need to start and have an impact immediately...

Ogie Oglethorpe, we need to get Ogie; remember my man crush a few years ago when Clay Matthews was there?!? But we drafted Ohio State - ARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!

I like Williams and if we can get a mid-round second, I'd like Williams, CB Amerson, or S Bacardi (error) Bacarri Rambo there (really should have taken that Long Island Tea offer from that bartender just before Lent!!!)

I can see Mingo with the Saints and him Jordan, Junior and Wilson acting a fool in that 3-4 defense.
