Brad Smith, RB.

Well this gives you a great weapon for reverses and RB/WR throws and trick plays.
He will be a Randel El at best. You dont get Clemson to have brad guy take over and play Vick.

 

Are you guys nuts?
This guy is 6' 2'' 210 lbs and run a 4.54 was a crappy QB and now is going to play ST. What makes him so great? He is the same size as Smith and .01 second faster. The last 3 picks we have made are guys that love the game and will work hard - Larry Izzo.

 

you guys have got to stop obsessing over 40 times. running with basketball shorts is nothing like running with pads on. the guy is a football player and a team leader, end of story.

 

The 40 time is all we have for a guy that didnt play WR he was a QB everyone hated the Smith pick because he is a slow white guy but love this pick I don't get it.

 

Agreed. There seems to be a paralysis by analysis in football.

 

Brad Smith is fast in game speed.... I've watched enough of him. I wanted us to draft him as a WR this past CFB season.

 

didn't anquan boldinrun like a 4.7? ya he seems to be doing ok

 

He has been reluctant to switch positions ala eric crouch-why not pick a guy who doesn't have 2 switch positions like Demetrius williams? It is not like Smith' speed numbers are off the chart.Boldin plyed receiver in college

 

I doubt that they drafted him without asking him if he would be wiling to switch.

 

Boldin was a WR you don't need to be a speed demon when you can play the postion.

Height: 6-2 | Weight: 213 | 40-Time: 4.46

Only QB in 1-A history to throw for over 8000 yds and rush for 4000. I like this pick. Great value for a playmaker like this. He's very much an Antwan Randle-El type guy that's gonna cause DC's fits.

 

Thank you. 40 times are the most overrated stat in all of football.

 

I do think 40 times can be overrated, but in this instance, it actually HELPS the player. A 4.46 40 is a great time. I like this pick, I just hope Smith is committed to switching to WR.

 

They wouldnt have drafted him unless they talked to him first. I know this, by looking at all the preperation they put into this and since they are so organized and check everything out to a T.

 

My favorite is the 40-yard dash for Linemen -how often do they run 40 yards?

 

Right before the play that they are on the sideline with an oxygen mask on.

 

Running on and off the field.

 

he will be a decent WR

 

If anyone saw any of Mizzou's games last year-Smith is one of the most athletic guys i have ever seen-hes fast, big, and is a winner. As Kiper jr. said-if he embraces the fact that he is a WR and not a QB and works hard at it-i really think he has a bright future with us
