And Smith is also
worth the number 1 pick. The point being that people for some reason get hung up on not drafting him because he's not Andrew Luck, whereas it's perfectly okay for the top
tackle to not be a generational type player.
We have such a tremendous, bizarre hangup on QBs here...
The folks who've been comparing him to Bradford are completely correct. And I think completely correct to say he's a better prospect. He's got prototypical measurables, was a three year starter who had an incredible amount of success, and has a few issues with mechanics and footwork, none of which are major red flags. Yet he's talked about like he's a border-line player who would be a massive reach at one. Even by "prognosticators" who say he isn't worthy of #1 then send him somewhere else in the top 10.
