You know, in retro-spect, that wade smith draft wasn't so bad. I hated giving up a second rounder for a third rounder, but he's not the worst linemen on the team, and I think he'll be a really really good linemen down the road. How far down the road is the question, I think this year will do him good. That said, this year is deep in OL, and it would have been nice to have a 2nd round pick to compliment two (possible) first round picks. That would leave it wide open for a T with the top pick, if your #1 man would stillb e there (and he probably would), then take our WR Or Rivers (depending if you want to risk waiting until low second round to pick up Rivers.....I think if we waited and we have a low pick he'd be gone, so we'd need to pick up a WR low in the second)
Funny, I was just thinking the opposite as I looked at that. As I thought about this last season, it would have been worth not having Smith and have a 2nd rounder. I'm not sold on Smith yet. I also think we could do better with that 2nd round pick.
And, we still need Offensive linemen. So, who knows.
