If you say so.
Two years at right tackle, and didn't want to work out with the other linemen at the Combine (other than the bench). He's this draft's high risk/high reward player. I'm sure he'll go high based on his wingspan and athleticism, but it's not like he's above and beyond the other top tackles in this draft from that perspective.
Smith:
6'5"
307 lbs.
29" vertical
9'1" broad jump
29 reps at 225
36 1/2" arms
Suspended for a game in 2009 because of academic issues
From NFL.com:
Overview:
Smith is one of the best prospects on the hoof in this class. Blessed with an ideal NFL frame and has the outstanding feet and athleticism necessary to be a starting left tackle. Does a great job staying in front of speed rushers, locks on and sustains, and can anchor against the bull rush. Shows solid power in the running game and is really productive out in space. Football IQ is lacking. Fails to find his target at times in the running games and is a tick slow recognizing blitzes. Smith could come off the board early in the first round due to his rare physical gifts.
Strengths:
Smith possesses ideal height and length combined with rare speed and mobility for an offensive tackle. Can sink his hips to counter the bull rush. Moves his feet really well to shadow quicker speed rushers. Very comfortable blocking in space pulling on the perimeter and getting to the second level. Has a mean streak.
Weaknesses:
Would benefit from adding more bulk to his frame. Does not have natural football instincts. Overall awareness is lacking. Can be baited by stunts and twists. Does not recognize the blitz as quickly as you'd like to see. Can be beat by speed-to-power pass rushing moves.
Castonzo:
6'7"
311 lbs.
29 1/2" vertical
8'9" broad jump
28 reps at 225
34 1/2" arms
Academic All American
Overview:
Castonzo has the potential to develop into a top left tackle capable of shutting down top speed rushers. Started his first game as a true freshman and didn't leave the field during his four years at BC. He has very good mobility. Masks his lack of strength, to a certain extent, with quickness and positioning. Would be a good fit in a zone-blocking scheme or on a club that loves the screen game. Will probably never be a favorable matchup when facing bigger, more powerful NFL defensive lineman. Still, Castonzo is a first rounder with a chance to be the first O-lineman taken.
Strengths:
Castonzo possesses ideal height for the tackle position and has great feet. A highly-productive and extremely durable performer with over 50 starts in his college career. Smart, tough player and a hard worker. Huge, long frame coupled with impressive mobility allows him to shut down speed rushers. Puts himself in good position while run blocking. Comfortable and productive in space.
Weaknesses:
Must improve his bulk and playing strength (both upper and lower body). Can be beat by a strong bull rush or violent pass rushing moves. Can get caught dipping his head in pass protection. Does not push people off the line of scrimmage in the running game.

And that's the best you got? Insulting someone about their religious beliefs? (Even though I'm not a Mormon, so your idiotic response really doesn't have any relevance other than bringing to light your religious intolerance and hate.)
