Default Aldon Smith

I was watching film on him to get a new look at the kid, a couple of notes.

One all of sacks came from the inside, not one sack from beating an OT, all of them came from beating an OG. In the NFL that will not happen.

According to John McClain, Warren Sapp thinks Smith is 2 years away from being a Ware clone, Sapp spent time working Smith out and was impressed by the kid.

My take on the kid is he is a 3rd year sophomore and he has not played very much football, I think he is being drafted on potential and the Texans track record on potential is not a good one. I am not sold on him, I really hope we trade up or trade down, please do not stand pat in this draft. Let the Pats draft the kid (Smith) based on potential, and get an extra pick.

We have butted heads several times in the past PK. You may be right, but I think the kid will make us an excellent OLB rusher...... On the other hand, in the unlikely event (at this time before the Draft) that a trade up for Miller or Peterson, should present itself, then I would be all for it.

I'm not high on Aldon either and would love to trade up to #6 and select Peterson. I just don't see that happening because Peterson will be selected higher than that. Justin Tuck was drafted in the 4th round and I'm not sure Aldon is as good as that.

Well let's just say we agree to disagree.

Yes I agree, no Aldon Smith.

More and more mocks have Smith and Robert Quinn both on the Board when Houston picks, including Gosselins last mock which came out this morning that has Quinn falling all the way to 20. Obviously the word is that people are afraid of Quinn's medical history. I mean maybe his brain tumor was/is benign, it's still freakin cancer. And it's still in his skull !
So anyway, if a team is concerned about Quinns medical situation, and Justin Houston has got the problem with grass, and Von miller is going way too high then who's left in the way of edge-rushing prospects besides Smith ? Maybe Kerrigan ? OK, trade back and get extra picks ? Sounds good if you can find a partner ?
