Troy Smith measures in at: 6 feet 222

[Raiderfan007]

Good enough to get in the top 35 picks, IMO.

I'll eat crow on this one for sure.

I figured 5-10 200 flat.

Woops.:o

He would be a good draft pick for anyone in Rnd 3. Rnd 2 stills seems like a gamble.

[hawaiianboy]

I'm not as high on him as others, but I'm glad he cleared the dreaded 6 foot barrier... I hope someone takes him in the late first and pushes a guy I want down a notch....

[Raiderfan007]

Yeah, don't get me wrong: Im not a fan of his and dont want to draft him, but the guys got a good arm, good mobility and is now a legit size for an NFL QB.

I see him going round 2 now.

[Raiderfan007]

Levi Brown looks really good so far.

Absolutely owned Woodley and another DE (I forget the name) in the isolation drills.

He's solid and doesnt carry any flab.

I don't know how some scouts are dropping this guy...He'll be a top 25 pick, IMO.

I see him going round 2 now.WTF they puts some of those Dr. Schols in his friggin' shoes? I'm no fan of that guy. We gotta bigger fish to fry. And taking him with our #2 is WAY too high.

Good for him, he should make a quality late round Round WR or CB...Because he can't play QB in the pros.............

[Jack's sore libido]

Was that you who said he'd never measure over 5-11, and that Brady Quinn DWARFED him at the Heisman ceremony?

I tend to agree with you. But they did say that about Drew Brees though. If we took Smith in Rnd3 i would only grumble slightly. Because he would be a decent Curry, Randall-El type.

I don't know if you are referring to me, but: (And I did start this thread saying I'd eat crow)

1) I figured Smith was way under 6 feet. I dunno, but I just did. I've watched OSU and am honestly suprised he came in at 6 feet flat.

2) Brady Quinn DOES dwarf Troy Smith. By 4 and a half to 5 inches. That's a lot. Especially when grading franchise QB's.
I can only think of two good QB's in recent history that checked out under 6-1. Vick (Who has athleticism that is unmatched in the league) and Brees (Who is one of the smartest QB's)

Smith doesnt do anything exceptionally, which is why he's still a 2nd or 3rd rounder.

[Jack's sore libido]

Brady Quinn is 6-4.

if Troy Smith is 6-2, that's only 2 inches.

EDIT: My bad. I misunderstood your title. I thought it was a typo and that you were calling him 6-2, not 6-0, 222 ...

[Raiderfan007]

Gotcha.

I think we can both agree that neither will dawn Oakland Raider uni's in the near future, lol.

;)

[Jack's sore libido]

Never know these days.

I wouldn't be surprised if either was taken (though certainly not both).

Al Davis loves them Heisman winners. Troy Smith in Round 2 might still be the way he goes if he takes Peterson or Johnson in Round 1.

[Raiderfan007]

On a side note:

Troy Smith has been head and shoulders above all other QB's in Senior bowl practices thus far.

HBoy's boy Kevin Kolb's been aight too.

Palko has a noodle arm, btw.

[Jack's sore libido]

How about Jordan Palmer?

[Madturk]

I'd take a flyer on Chris Leak in the later rounds. I don't know, something tells me he'll be a serviceable QB in the NFL. Probably size wise in the Smith mold but I like his smarts and he'd be a helluva lot cheaper.

He looks just like Carson, but he doesnt have the accuracy or command, from the bit I watched.

To be honest Turk, Leak looks really skinny and undersized.

Smith is well built and has a muscular frame, but Leak barely packs 200 pounds on his frame.

That being said, I take a flyer on him with one of our 5th rounders

[Jack's sore libido]

Leak has CFL written all over him. From what I've seen, he has absolutely no zing on the ball. He'd be throwing pick-6s left and right in the NFL.
