that post on this sight to explain the huge gulf between free safety & strong safety that can explain why a good football player can play one position & not the other. For all the people who claim to be such experts, I want someone to explain how a smaller, slower corner from OSU can be a better player than a faster, bigger, stronger player from Utah. I think you all know who the two playeres in question are.

Sean Smith is very comparable to Pat Watkins of the Cowboys. Watkins is 6'5" and ran a 4.43 in the 40...tremendous measurables, but doesn't translate into playing DB. Michael Hawthorne also comes to mind. It's easy for people who haven't followed the draft much before now to look at the height and 40 time, and think the guy will be an All-Pro. I've watched some film on him (not just highlight reels), and i'm not overly impressed. He doesn't have great recognition, and he doesn't turn his hips well...2 absolute musts to be an impact player in the secondary. I think the earliest he should be picked is the 3rd round. He will be picked higher than that, but he will end up frustrating the team that picks him by never living up to the measurables. As for any talk of us taking him at #14, that is pure stupidity. Malcolm Jenkins is a MUCH better player.

You strike me as a self appointed expert.

Matt Jones, Josh Barrett, and Mike Mamula are tearing the shite out of the NFL.
