People are Overreacting to Andre Smith's Actions

All of the talking heads covering the draft are saying that Andre Smith has killed his draft value between his non-showing at the combine and his poor showing at his personal workout.

While Smith has definitely solidified himself as NOT the top tackle prospect in the draft, he certainly has not done enough to fall out of the top 13 picks in the first round. Tackles are a coveted commodity in the NFL and Smith was dominant as a left tackle in what is unquestionably the toughest football conference in the nation, the SEC.

It seems like every year people jump on the bandwagon of a workout warrior who had little production on the college level, and without a Vernon Gholston in the 2009 draft, it looks like people will settle for jumping off the bandwagon of a proven player who doesn't test or time well.
