They said he was a much better fit at G than OT and predicted that was where he would make an impact.

People sleeping on D'Ante need to read up on and watch his senior bowl tape where he did OUTSTANDINGLY well in team and 1 on 1s.

Wild, I always thought of him as an OT. This is cool.

Felt the same.

All I know is if he can play Guard it adds depth and that is what we need most on this team right now on the OL.

Apparently he stomped all comers at G when put inside at the Senior Bowl, even when matched up against highly thought of SEC DTs.

The link in there towards the end has Smith rated as the 106th best player overall. There's another article that I need to find from Feb that had the 3rd best G as well. The tape on his senior bowl is on youtube and is VERY good against top level guys. High ceiling for Smith.

I think I linked the other articles in post draft board discussion... but no one would listen or read them because... No Sewell. Hearts were broken, I guess. lol

Thanks PDub. This is good stuff man.
