Former No. 2 overall pick Jason Smith trying to make it with Saints (1 Viewer)

But I am not expecting anything other than maybe a serviceable tackle who is gonna need help from TE's and RB's.

Sounds a lot like Bushrod.

In other words, basically another Jermon Bushrod.

Maybe, but I am not even sure he can be that, its his ceiling though.


Bushrod gets a lot of flack on this board and I am not entirely sure its warranted. Bushrod did have some trouble with outside speed rushers, but Drew would always have a clean pocket to step up into so it was not that big a deal. But he handled his own more often than he is given credit for. He was good at handling inside pressure, and once engaged did not give up much. Pretty strong at the PoA.

He made the pro bowl, and got a pretty nice contract from Chicago. Kromer made sure to get him on his new team and he is a respected O-line coach. I would take Bushrod over anything we have on the roster right now.
