D'Ante Smith

I thought D'Ante Smith was a STUD at the draft (http://http://thebengalsboard.com/Thread-Official-2021-NFL-Draft-Thread?pid=1026802#pid1026802), and I know a lot of others were talking about him too. You better believe I would have taken him ahead of Carman. I think more was made of his size than was deserved, considering his wrestling background the temperament/discipline that goes along with it, to say nothing of his proficiency for punching above his weight. At the same time, this is pure HYPE right now. He's being used as camp clickbait. I wouldn't get too excited just yet. 

I was a fan of Jackson Carman, D'Ante Smith, and Trey Hill through the process. Carman appeared on my radar through the 2020 CFB Playoffs when he had solid games vs Chase Young and K'Lavon Chaisson. He has a great track record in run blocking and pass protection against NFL competition in the ACC and in big games in the CFB Playoffs.

Trey Hill was anSEC guy people took notice of in 2019/2020 he looked like he was on his way to being one of the top center in the 2021 draft. Knee injuries caused him to have a very inconsistent 2020 season caused him to slip.

D'Ante Smith surprised at the Senior Bowl and I tagged him as a 4th round developmental tackle prospect. http://thebengalsboard.com/Thread-Trench-Warfare-Top-O-line-Rankings. For a guy that wasnt very big he looked to bury people on his reps.
