DJ Chark and Taven Bryan also had a 9.94 and a 9.91 respectively.  Doesn't mean they are good players.

Irv Smith Jr. is an extremely underrated blocker and is a bruising blocker when used as an H-back or Wing back.  I watched numerous blocks where he sprung a long touchdown.  He isn't a natural receiver.  His feet need a lot of work when running downfield and his hands are mediocre at best.  He trips up over his own feet a lot.  After the catch, he is the best TE in college.  He is an absolute monster in RAC.  He just plays MEAN.  Really mean.

Couldn't have said it better. Irv was productive in college too. As a junior he tallied 44 grabs for 700 yards & 7 TD's (in an offense that doesn't really utilize the TE). He's a prototypical "Move TE". Like what Aaron Hernandez was for the Patriots before he murdered people. Or a slightly smaller Benjamin Watson.

I think people are sleeping on Irv Smith Jr. a little bit. But with all the quality OL guys on the board rn ... i think we go that route and maybe trade back up for Irv if he slips in the 2nd round a bit.
