Former Alabama OT Andre Smith came to the NFL Combine out of shape and left without giving anyone any notice.  This comes just weeks after he was suspended from the Sugar Bowl for violating NCAA rules that prohibit college athletes from communicating with agents before leaving school.

Smith’s draft stock is probably falling faster than anyone’s at the combine. A few weeks ago he appeared like one of the favorites to be the #1 pick to the Detroit Lions. Since then it has become more apparent that Detroit is looking to take Matthew Stafford with it’s top choice, but Smith was still widely considered a consensus top 10 pick at the lowest before this latest incident.

I will have more on the NFL combine shortly. What is everyone’s thoughts on Smith after two apparent mishaps in the last two months? It seems like a guy that had everything going for him couldn’t screw up a chance to be a top five pick, but apparently he has.
