Shooting for upside might burn you, but it also might get you elite players.

Or you end up with a guy like Walker Little who doesn't have the versatility required to move inside but can't quite win a starting tackle spot. Still hoping he's a late bloomer, but... looking like a future swing tackle. 

Hopefully Maason Smith ends up at least getting meaningful rotational use by the end of his rookie year.

Baalke said by the time of his Pro day he was finally 100%  he got more healthy as the season went on and you could see it in his play.  I watched that FSU game and he was dominant before the I jury.  I think LSU would have won if he didnt get hurt.  When the season starts that will be 2 years removed from the injury, he's good to go.  He will be a huge part of our rotation week 1 I'm sure.  Hopefully he has a great camp
