Andre Smith's Pro Day

Alabama has a number of top prospects, but all eyes were on offensive tackle Andre Smith. After showing up at the combine overweight and unprepared, and then leaving early, Smith had a lot to prove. Overall, it was a mediocre performance.

His workout numbers weren't very impressive (5.33 forty, 19 reps on the bench). However, he reportedly looked very good in positional drills. It was probably enough to save his place in the mid-first round, but the questions about his ability to play left tackle remain unanswered.

I personally do not think he's a left tackle, and therefor is not worthy of a top 10 pick. He reminds me of Shawn Andrews, a very reliable guard with the potential to play right tackle.
