That's actually why I was elated that Aldon Smith got drafted by the 49ers. I was so sure that he was a Rick Smith pick and I was not crazy about him because I felt he was all athleticism with no awareness, intelligence or effort. I would've definitely preferred Cameron Jordan to Watt, but I think Watt will be a solid, if not spectacular player for 8-10 years, so I can't complain too heartily. And I think Brooks Reed, our 2nd round pick, is much more likely to be successful than Aldon Smith.
