Maybe if we needed a starting tackle day one it would be different, but we didn't, we have Jonah and Riley set to start. Carmen will start at guard and maybe work his way out to tackle, but I expect Shelvin is going to be a force, and the scuttle on Smith is once he grows into an NFL body he may well be the steal of the draft because his mechanics are so good. Sometimes, fans need to sit back and enjoy a win and admit the Bengals kicked butt in the draft.
Greg Cosell and others seem to have a different take on Smith. I believe the interest in him lies in his athleticism and length. He's quite a project, and was my least favorite pick. Hopefully I'm dead wrong.
As far as trades go, it ultimately comes down to how badly a team wants a particular player. I thought the Cowboys fleeced the Eagles by extracting a third rounder to go down two spots.
