57. His 2017 season started out terribly but Braden Smith showed grit and determination. He didn’t get down, kept working and greatly improved over the second half. He carried that momentum into the Senior Bowl where he was one of the offensive line standouts during drills. He’s a big, strong blocker who gets movement in the ground game and shows the necessary feet and punch to be a reliable pass protector. Give him to a specialist like Harry Hiestand and he’s bound to take his game to an even higher level.. OL. Auburn. Braden Smith . 4. player
