like 3-4, but I don't see smith lasting till 6. I'll be surprised if he makes it passed the second unless he hasn't made any progress by his April re-check.
Fair enough, I'm assuming we only keep Nelson or Iloka (not both). I don't really like the idea of our first round picks sitting for a while either, but the Bengals have shown they're willing to do that in the past (Kirkpatrick, Dennard, and Ogbuehi).
As for the Smith pick I am going by what we know right now. He vary well could be improving come April and in that case he wouldn't last till the 6th.
