Flbillsfan#1 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Is alex smith from the bucs any good? SI is reporting that the bucs are looking to trade him? Is he worth looking at or another robert royal clone? I would jump on that trade for a 4th rnd pick. The Bucs have the BEST collection of TE's in the NFL.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Please no one turn me in to the authorities.  Alex Smith Birth Date May 22, 1982 Birth Place Denver, CO Height 6-4 Weight 258 lbs.  Age 26 Position TE Experience 5 years College Stanford  ProfileStatsSplitsGame LogNewsScouting InsiderPhotos 2008 Scouting Report - Scouts Inc. Grade: 67: Indicates an average starter Alert: None  Comment: Smith is a good-sized and very athletic tight end with good playing speed as well as good body control. He is quick off the ball and can avoid the press with quick, nimble footwork on his release. He shows above-average foot quickness and agility in and out of his break and can separate from most linebackers or strong safeties. He comes out of his breaks with a decent burst and can maintain his speed to stay uncovered. He does not play as strong as you'd expect and is more of a finesse, position blocker who walls off or screens opponents away from the play. He has natural, soft hands that can reach out and pluck the ball away from his frame or highpoint the ball when in a crowd. While he does not generally make many eye-catching plays, he is reliable to make the ones he should make. He has decent elusiveness after the catch, but does not break many long ones. Overall, Smith is a quality starting tight end who still has some upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagel Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 And career stats:Â Year Team GP REC YDS AVG LONG TDs 2005 TAM 16 41 367 9.0 24 2 2006 TAM 14 35 250 7.1 27 3 2007 TAM 14 32 385 12.0 33 3 2008 TAM 14 21 250 11.9 34 3 Career 58 129 1252 9.7 34 11 Â Alex overlapped with Trent Edwards for a few years at Stanford (where Alex set the career tight end receptions record). He has excellent skills -- good size, speed and hands. He's a decent blocker, albeit no Mark Bavaro. I'm not sure why Alex has not flourished in the NFL. For the right price I'd take him in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sullim4 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I'm surprised the Bucs aren't trying to trade Mike Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
