I want him

Ok, is he 247 or 230. We're getting different info.

Even 247 is extremely light. I don't like the "he can add weight" angle at all. Saw that with Cie Grant and it doesn't work out.

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.

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

That is an enormous difference.

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.
