I_C_Deadpeople Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 Dane Brugler had him as a 3rd round prospect, his 11th best OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BlackJesus| Posted May 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 He looks the part ... long and lean (visually looks more proto-typical OT than Sewell tbh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has some really nice tools to work with. I truly thought someone would scoop him up long before the end of R4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BlackJesus| Posted May 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 D'ANTE SMITH Prospect Info East Carolina Augusta, GA 6' 5" 305 lbs ARMS - 35 1/4" Player Bio D'Ante (pronounced dee-ON-tay) Smith was an all-region pick in football, as well as a heavyweight wrestler, at Grovetown High School in Augusta, Georgia. Smith played in the season opener of his true freshman season but was injured, causing him to redshirt. Coaches got him into seven games the following season, including four starts at left tackle and one at left guard. Smith took over the left tackle spot for the Pirates permanently in 2018. He started all 12 games that season and in his junior campaign. He began the 2020 season opener at left tackle, as well, but suffered an undisclosed injury late in the game. Smith eventually decided to shut it down for the year to prepare for the NFL draft. He accepted an invitation the Senior Bowl. -- by Chad Reuter Overview Smith has intriguing length and good feet, but his lack of size and strength is a concern. Determining whether or not he has the frame to consistently carry over 300 pounds will be critical, as his lack of natural strength and body control is already working against him. He might need to begin his pro career as a swing tackle while he puts in the necessary work to get ready for a bigger role. His Senior Bowl practices were a strong step in the right direction, but there is still plenty of work to be done. Strengths Tremendously long. Has 85-inch wingspan and 35-inch arms. Punch is well-timed and has some snap on it. Keeps scrambling in recoveries and will find wins. Lateral foot quickness to make back-side/play-side reach blocks. Good rhythm as a work-up blocker to second level. Looks to get a strong finish once he takes the lead as run blocker. Length helps with last second redirection blocks.

|BlackJesus| Posted May 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 The real way to look at yesterday's 2nd round pick is that it was 3 guys - Carman, Shelvin, and Smith ... thanks to Belicheat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spicoli Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 This guy might be the future RT. Good chance Carman is a permanent guard going forward. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His position in the NFL is either LT or TE I don’t know, the kid plays with a ton of power even at 290. If they can bulk him up to 320 over the next year I could actually see him becoming a dominant RT with those long ass arms and quick feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 I would like to see him develop into the ORT and Carman ORG sooner rather than later. Whatever... both/either of them > Bobby Hart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricket Posted May 3, 2021 Report Share Posted May 3, 2021 One of the videos for Smith included practice snaps at the Senior Bowl, and my thought is that this guy would be called for holding on every other play...especially if he’s in a Bengal uniform. 😒 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
