Jimmy Smith working out? Where? When?
Private or with a training club?

I haven't heard about any workout, but I will say this: His game tapes are the best I've seen among the draftees this year.

I understand that Steelb and most board members here love Peterson; some love Prince. But Smith had the best tapes (by more than a little bit and including games against Georgia - with AJ Green, the near consensus #1 WR; and Mizzou - with Gabbert, seemingly the choice QB in this draft.)

I don't think anybody really talked about Brown, except for me, briefly before the draft.
I rated him as the #8 OT overall, and that was where he got drafted.
I didn't rate him as a first rounder though.
I've already pushed him up because I think he fits well in the ZBS that we run.
In contrary to John Harris (Lance Z's partner or friend), I saw him as a better run blocker than a pass blocker.
(I think Harris said he hadn't watch Brown before he was drafted by the Texans though; and I don't think Lance Z did either.)

What happened to 3ToedPete?
Haven't seen him on the board for a long time.
I remember he and I agreed on Iupati in the first.

Pauline also says Patrick Peterson is "the player that most enamors the Broncos," and Jimmy Smith looks "sensational" in pre-draft workouts.

Not sure. But, I believe you can summon him by typing his name 5 times in a draft thread.

TTP usally comes around after the combine.

I thought that was an urban legend?

Has the Titans taking Prince Amukamara at #8, Cowboys taking JJ Watt, DE Wisconsin at #9 and Texans taking Jimmy Smith, CB Colorado at #11.

Jimmy Smith is a definite possibility depending on how he does at the Combine. I personally prefer Brandon Harris-CB over Smith but both are real possibilities.

Frog, from what I understand, the NFL scouts are not allowed to attend any workout at Training Club or private of any form.
I'm sure walls have ears, but definitely the scouts wouldn't comment about things they "overheard".

I don't know how the unofficial scouting people and draft websites operate and whether they fan out to different Training Clubs to watch the prospects working out or purchase tapes from them, or whatever, but it's feasible.

Anyway, this is what I found:
