Why isn't Troy Smith expected to go higher in the NFL draft?

He's not a pro qb, he's a college qb.  Lots of guys dominate in college, but the way they play they will get killed in the NFL.  Tommy Frazier, Eric Crouch, Charlie Ward, just to give you a few more examples

I think the Heisman is still up for grabs.  Although OSU won, and Troy Smith played a good game, I don't think he wrapped it up becuase he was not an overshelmingly dominate player in the game.  I think he still has something to prove and I am pulling for him.

Right now, I think it might be Steve Smith.  He was unstoppable, even without a complimentary receiver drawing attention elsewhere.  Plus, he's got the added challenge of being shorter than the average receiver.

First off, there has to be a QB drafted some time, whether it's Quinn or Troy Smith or even Chad Henne if he comes out early. How popular would he be in Detroit, eh? \nStill, a team in this condition should trade down for multiple picks. They are going to have to do something with Mike Williams, as well, so he might be decent trade bait as well. They need serious help on both sides of the ball, but obviously, Kitna is nobody's answer at QB--the most important position in football. \n\nHonestly, I'm shocked at how the team underachieves. If you look up and down that roster (except at QB), you'd swear this team could go 4-12 without practicing. It's a shame these guys just can't get it together. \nHowever, when a team (business) does so poorly, one must look at management first.

i think that leinart is a great quarterback and has the potential to excel in the nfl, especially with weapons on the offence such as boldin, fitzgerald and james. the "hot" part of the question is up to the girls.

i can tell you that Tye Hill from Clemson is a wasted pick.  He is 5' 8" and is fast as hell, but he can't mark an NFL WR.  bad pick if you ask me....

I would have to say Mr. Reliable, Troy Brown.  This guy can do everything.  He can play offense, defense, special teams.  In this pre-season, he played a couple of snaps as QB.  Troy is a true team player.  I feel like saying, what can't he do.

I don't think so.. In the NFL it takes a lot longer for a Defensive player to make a huge impact look at some of the greats D. Brooks, R. Lewis, and B. Urlacher..they were all decent their first year but really exploded in their second season and every year after that ...I think he'll be ok..as far as Bush goes he is doing very well in N.O. considering how they are using him..If he was in Texas it would be a different story no shared carries or playing time might have led to huge numbers..Hope this helped..

No he went undrafted, but some team is sure to take a chance on him in free agency. Only time will tell if going undrafted has taught him anything, like he's not nearly as good as he thinks (when asked he rated himself as the second best QB in the draft, behind only Young)!

If Troy Smith improves his numbers, which he will, because he will play every game next season, he will at least be a leading candidate for the Heisman. He will have to win all of his games because we all know Notre Dame players seem to get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the Heisman (i.e. Brady Quinn wont have to win all his games to be able to win it). Smith has a great chance if he wins at Texas and runs the table in the Big Ten, meaning beat Michigan, then I think he will be top 3 giving him a chance. I am a Michigan fan, but I like to see the Big Ten do well no matter what. So for me, seeing a really good player in Smith winning the Heisman would be alright. He has killed Michigan lol, we know all about his skills.

Yeah, he isnt utilizing the talent he has correctly.\n\nSteve Smith is one of the best recievers in the game...how is he not getting thrown to 15+ times a game?\n\nHenning apparently thought he was being flashy with those third down runs, trying to expliot a horrible Washington defense. That could have easily lost them the game.\n\nDeshaun needs to get 15-20 carries a game, Foster on short yardage downs, and get the damn ball to Steve Smith 40% of the time!

if anything he will be viewed as a quarterback that uses the most with nothing...the guy has one player on that ENTIRE offense that could even sniff the NFL...if he was on a team with more weapons on offense we are not only talking about a multiple heisman winner, but also one of the greatest qb's of all time...but since neither of those has happened...i still think he will be the top qb taken...look at guys like joey harrington and alex smith and even david carr...true they aren't the greatest qb's in the NFL...but they did a lot with nothing to make HUGE names for themselves

The Redskins do not have a first round pick this draft. They would be 22nd but they traded their first round pick last year to Broncos in order to get Jason Campbell. By the way, I love the Redskins.

Because last year we had the lowest total of interceptions in NFL History (5). That is just plain terrible. \n\nMichal Huff was the best Back in the Draft and most likely will play from the get go. \n\nI was a little leary of it myself but it does make a little sense. Need Turnovers big time to compete. Double our total of Int's and we still are the worst last year.

He's not going to find a starting job in the NFL. There are however 10-15 teams, including the Titans that would be willing to have him as a backup. It just depends on how much he loves the game.

You forgot about Brady Quinn..even though he is sooooo over rated...he will go before Troy Smith because thats how the NFL works.\n1.) Miami Dolphins: Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame\n- The Dolphins are one of the biggest disappointments this year, and the main reason for that has been poor play at QB. They will think Quinn can come in immediately improve a Dolphins team that I thought had so much potential\n2.) Detroit Lions: Joe Thomas, OT, Wisconsin\n- In my mind, drafting an OL in the top 5 has always been one of the best picks a team can make. Take a look at how the Jets are doing this year. Hopefully Millen is smarter than I think he is and makes the right pick; Joe Thomas\n3.) Arizona Cardinals: Sam Baker, OT, USC\n- The Cardinals offense is missing one thing: a good offensive line. If they want to have any chance of winning, they have to start making more holes for Edge to run through. Baker has tremendous potential, and could be a Pro-Bowler for many years to come if he fulfills it\n4.) Oakland Raiders: Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech\n- I know Calvin had 0 catches against Clemson; but if he was on a team with another tremendous talent (Randy Moss) he would have more chances to get open and would be a tremendous threat \n5.) Tennessee Titans: Dwayne Jarrett, WR, USC\n- The Titans are hoping that Calvin falls to them here, but if not, they go with Jarrett, the next best WR in the draft. VY needs a receiver, and with the emergence of Travis Henry in recent weeks, the Titans could have a decent offense\n6) Adrian Peterson to the Titans\n\nYou must be an Ohio St Fan

probaly because he is a qb. it would be sorta unrealistic when a qb has a 99 speed rating, while not many rbs or wrs have 99 speed
