HOw realistic are the work ethic concerns with Donovan Smith?
When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Donovan Smith in the second round, that was a bit of a surprise to many people. Most draftniks saw him as a late-second rounder, or even a third-round pick. There were indications that he was more highly-valued by NFL teams, though -- he was a late risers, which usually means that draftniks are adjusting to what they're hearing from NFL teams, and he was the fifth tackle among NFL scouts and executives polled by Bob McGinn. And the Bucs like him enough to name him their starting left tackle, at least for now -- perhaps he'll lose that job in training camp, but it doesn't look like it.
