Quote:There is no way of knowing his intentions. You can only go by the actual evidence which is at the time of the pick there was no special need on the roster for a DT.

 

But if you are right and he was released after the Alualu pick, for one reason or another, Smith had to have considered Henderson expendable.  As inept as Smith was, somehow I doubt he had not given that any consideration prior to the draft.

In other words, consideration of the actual evidence (as you put it) must also include what happened immediately after the draft.
