But it was 10 degrees and snowing, not something he will have to deal with but maybe 4-5 times in his career. =============================================== I watched the game against Syracuse and also wasn't impressed. In fact, I was very disappointed. Yeah, it was cold and there was a light snow - but it wasn't very windy and truthfully the conditions weren't that horrible. Smith didn't play well or look good and very little of that could be attributed to the weather. After watching quite a few bowl games, I came away unimpressed with most of the projected top draft picks. Smith didn't look good. Teo didn't look good. J.Jones didn't impress me at all. Of course, it's hard to try to evaluate a player based on a single game or with limited viewing of said player. I don't claim to be a draft guru precisely bcz I haven't seen enough of most of the players to form a definitive opinion, but I would not be keen on drafting any of the 3 mentioned above with a top 10 pick. Although the JFB 'Slo-Mania & Krapp will get the offense humming' crystal ball is definitely cracked, I agree with him 100% on J.Jones (who Kiper has rated as the #1 prospect) being vastly overrated and a likely NFL disappointment. In fact, I wont be surprised to see Jones slide out of the top 10 entirely. One trick, edge rush pony. Teo should have never been considered top 10 to begin with. Smith should still go early (despite his poor bowl game showing) based on his excellent stats and performance early and the fact that he's probably the BPA at the most important position.
