This guy seems like a logical choice to me.

He was a heisman trophy winner, a great TD to INT ratio, and seems to have all the tools.

As noted on NFL draft countdown, the guy would be a top 10 pick if not for his height. OK, so what. There have been plenty of shorter QB's to make good NFL QB's, (Brees comes to mind).

If Quinn isn't available I would definitely consider Troy Smith in a later round.

OK, the question for this thread is: why not Troy Smith?
 
I would do it, when you look at the guy, you can tell he as flawless mecanics, he's pretty mobile, a good leader and has a good arm. I think he's worth at least our 3rd, maybe even our late 2nd.
 
His bowl game performance and off the field issues aside, the only thing I can think of is ,IMO, Cam prefers taller QBs.
 
I've seen nothing in Troy Smith that would make me want him. He had a great offense at Ohio State. I mean, two first day receivers, a first day running back and a good offensive line, who wouldnt produce with that offense?
 
I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't get drafted. He has a slow deliberate release which makes it a lot easier for a DB to intercept.
 
I can't help but think the BCS performance was just a taste of things to come for Smith if/when he faces NFL caliber defenses.
 
he is my favorite QB cuz i am an ohio state fan and i would like it if we couldnt get quinn but i believe we will take a QB in the first two rounds and troy is on his way back down the draft after the commish started penalizing people for off feild incedents and smith had a few in college. i wouldnt mind getting him though cuz he could be a steal in the 4-5 round. i think he will be drafted maybe by clev if they dont get stanton and i think they will take AP over quinn. i think clev would gamble a 4-6 rounder on him
 
you can't ask for a much better QB prospect than Smith if he is still around in round 4. They guy is fundamentally sound and brings another dimension to the game by using his legs (like most shorter Qbs do).
 
The concern with Troy Smith is that he better suited to a bootleg-oriented offense, which the Dolphins don't use. He reminds of a more mobile and much smaller Byron Leftwich.
