Onterrio Smith Facing 4-Game Suspension

Fox reported at halftime of the Giants-Panthers game tonight that Smith is facing a four-game suspension for violating the league's drug policy.

I've been touting Michael Bennett as a sleeper pick for months and he obviously benefits from this turn of events. Moe Williams is looking better too - at least for the first four games of the season.

Gekko -- apparently I can say it. Was something supposed to happen?

given the choice between taking Corey Dillon, Michael Bennett or a Rudi Johnson at arouind pick 16 in the 2nd round which would you take?

Dillon would be the choice for me (hopefully he'll get his usual number of points ina more consistent matter).

With Willams gone , and the rate RB go off the board id be shocked if more then 1 was still around by then . But i think id Go dillion-Johnson-bennett..they all have question marks but i prefer dillion with his track record and the Pats will use him to the bone i think

But with Bennett getting goalline carries and Minnesota having a better O line coupled with the fact that Dillon is 30 wouldnt you sway towards Bennett...

I still think Moe Williams is going to get the goalline opportunities. Regardless of what Tice might be saying now, his past indicates different. That said, I don't think either one would be a bad pick at that spot.

Are you going to use this info against me in the mock draft tonight?
