Re: A name to watch come draft time, Alphonso Smith

I like Smith,...the kid is a playmaker. He probably has the best ball skills of any corner in this class. However,...i do think we would be better served trading up (For a Stud like Rey or Harvin) or down,...as opposed to staying put at 32 and taking any of this years crop of corners outside of Jenkins. (Whom we all know will not fall that far)

Personally i'm really high on Macho Harris whom reminds me of a more physical "young Rhonde Barber" with return skills. We play a great deal of zone,...and IMO he's perfectly suited for as much and can be selected later.

5'9" is a definite liability. I say that is too much a risk.

If you would read the article you would see that he doesn't have problems with the larger WR's unless he's going for the big play. I have no issue with him being 5'9. I'd like to see how many QB's are 5'9-5'10 in the NFL for comparison.

I'll take a stab at that one. "What is none?", Alex.

I know for a FACT that Deangelo Hall is 5'9 and he may not be now but was at one point considered one of the best corners in the NFL. I'm certain there are others. I just don't feel like checking at the moment.

EDIT: I just checked the last Pro-bowl Roster. Antoine Winfield is 5'9 and Cortland Finnegan is 5'10.

He was responding to you putting "QB's"..not "CB's".

lol my bad. No idea why I put QB's. I obviously meant "DB's" considering the scope of the thread.
