Smith had blood cot issues that pushed him down to 6 in the first place. It’s pretty simple that our drafting of OL has been less than mediocre. I sure hope it’s finally settled.
Carman was NOT a consensus pick in the building. I have no idea how much they valued Creed but I simply hate the forced pick of Carman. Im well aware of Smith's blood clots, followed him since high school. The clots were not a playing issue his last year but were definitely a red flag. Taking a flyer in the 6th round on a border line 1st rounder is a very smart move.
We had TWO picks in the 6th Round, Trey Hill and Chris Evans. Both of our picks were before KC's #226 in which they chose Smith. Yes Im not happy about it, will never be happy about it. We have gone a decade without a very solid oline draft pick.
