Rumor from another website form a source, says they are looking toward Jason Smith OT from Baylor.
Any thoughts?
I think this would be good if its true. Cause pretty much we can guarentee Curry will be there.

I've heard they've talked to several canidates to begin preliminary negotiations on contract details. JAson Smith, Aaron Curry, Eugene Monroe, Stafford, Raji etc... They still have private work outs to wade through so any news up to this point that isn't solid is just another product of the rumor mill.
That being said I fully expect them to go with Stafford at number one.
I dont like Raji I do not think it is that great watched film on him and yeah he looks okay but have not seen anything special. Dorsey is going to be a beast im telling you he has a year under his belt and he did not have a horrible season especially when he had no help and could be double teamed. I think Curry can be a beast but honestly I am hoping smith or monroe falls to three because we could move Albert back to being a G and he would dominate at that position or if worse comes to worse move to the right side I just think with a new QB we got to protect him and thats most important. I am really tore though because I personally like Orapko better than Curry. I dont know I will be a fan whoever we sign draft day
This urban legend that Dorsey was double teamed needs to stop. He was knocked on his a$$ by single defenders all year. He might get better in 2009, but he was miserable, especially against the run, in 2008. We need a big, space eating DT. It doesn't have to be Raji, but it needs to come from somewhere in the draft (or less likely, FA).
If you haven't seen anything special about Raji in gametape, watch him at the Senior Bowl.
We aren't drafting Orakpo. We're moving to a 3-4, and he's too small to play DE there. And we're not drafting an OLB/DE hybrid at 3.
When it comes to Curry, I think we all need to quit comparing him to DT. DT will always hold a special place in most of our hearts even if, statistically, Curry out performs him. Let's be honest, when DT was drafted who really believed he was going to be as special as he was?

When throwing as much money at a guy as you have to in the top 5, there are also other qualities to look at.
How is that guy as a person? Will he provide stability in the locker room? Or will he be someone you have to trade / release in 3 years because of greed / off-field problems? Or will he spend half his career in jail or suspended?
Thats the main reason I like Curry over the other excellent athletes who will be there when its our turn, he is a PRO!
I don't think there is enough evidence on Curry to say that he can't pass rush, so that might be something worth investigating more closely.
It would be awesome to have a big-mean NT to crush the pocket on every play too, but I just don't know if Raji is worth that kind of money either.
