He can't bend which shows with leverage struggles on the outside it would be more pronounced inside.

I just see a big issue with his footwork and lack of athleticism.

To be honest, I'm not really a big fan of many offensive lineman in this draft. It's a pretty weak class.

Big college LT that has some athletic limitations, many seeing him as needing to move to the right side.
Smith also underperformed at his Pro Day (left Combine before the drills), only putting up a 5.28 40 time on Alabama's track and only posting 19 reps on the bench.
What Smith lacked in athleticism he (somewhat) made up for in sheer size and length.

I see Brown following a similar path to Smith.

The reason why Andre didn't do well at RG was because he couldn't rise and set, before the DT got up on him. Even as RT, when he was set at snap, he had issues. I have never seen a tackle line up perpendicular to line of scrimmage, until I saw Andre.... he would expose his inside just so he wont get beat outside.

Given the two OL FA transactions already, not sure if early pick would be spent on one in the draft. Maybe if the kid from Pitt is there in round three (O'neil?)
