You saw that I said 2md/3rd right? I don't disagree with you at all - I simply left it to peoples' opinions.
There is some reason for debate though. TO say he is a better prospect because he was a 1st rounder is silly. He is what he is - further along than Smith but one could argue that Smith has a higher ceiling.
