[Rise of The Hive]

The story of him and his father is touching, I'd love to draft him.

[SCMunnerlyn1]

Played high school against him he went to lowndes and I to valdosta. I really dont think he'll get much bigger. Probably play safety at the next level if he has a rough transition.

why not just put him at SS? He'd be perfect there in an in-the-box role much like Roman Harper did to earn a couple Pro Bowl invites when he was younger. And we do need someone to take over for Harper who is 32 this season

as for adding muscle, they wrote this about Smith:

"Thin-muscled with very lean limbs and limited growth potential to add much more bulk....His lack of bulk and growth potential are impossible to ignore and something that will always limit him (at OLB)"

 

Why not put him at SS? Because he has made his living at OLB and done a fine job at that. That's why. You move a guy closer to the line of scrimmage when changing positions. Not further away.

I think the biggest misconception people have with Gettlemen is that he is drafting rounds 1-7 for 2014.

Exactly right! GMan is drafting for the future. That's why we took Klein & Barner besides depth, but mainly to groom when the crappy contract are up. I love what GMan is doing

So was TD.

Could put kugbila in that category, pretty much a redshirt year for him

4th or higher, I could live with him. Well...depends on...not what I meant. The kid has skillz. Would take.

Try round 2 for 300 alex.

Jordon Tripp is another one that is a LB but is 6ft 3 and could play safety. He is about 234 lbs

I want my LT of the future in the 2nd. So, no.

He ran a 4.67 and scouting reports say that he looks tight hipped in coverage.  His coverage ability is a liability at LB, I doubt he's going to convert to safety.  Sounds to me like a guy who will probably have to make his impact on ST first while adapting to the NFL.  That's not a bad thing for a late round pick.

Wasn't saying we should just stating where tevlin is projected to go.

[LinvilleGorge]

So was TD.

TD weighed in at 230 at the combine. 

[CatMan72]

TD weighed in at 230 at the combine. 

 

12 pound difference... your point? 

[LinvilleGorge]

12 pound difference... your point? 

 

My point is that TD was 12 pounds heavier while playing safety.  Also, look at them.  Completely different body types.  I'm not sure this Smith kid is going to be able to put on weight.  TD probably plays at around 240 these days.  Not sure Smith will be able to get to 230+.

 

It's not like Smith is a 20 year old RS sophomore either, he's 23.  I would think being 23 and coming from a major program like FSU that he'd be able to put on some weight playing LB.
