Superman(DH23) Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I really like Smith as a player. Not a huge fan of the value bc hes an a off ball lber, but if hes Willis then obviously it doesnt matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Another thing to consider...Smith only turned 21 years old on the 8th of April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nads786 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Smith had 6.5 sacks last year ? I didn’t know he could blitz as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draft selection bio said he really picked up his blitzing prowess this last season, as MadMike noted, especially with great timing on delayed blitzes. In addition to the blitzing and sideline to sideline play, they showed him turning and running to cover a guy going deep into the corner of the endzone and knocking the ball away. Complete LB with great football IQ. Had turned into my favorite 'likey' guy the last few days. Made for the new NFL game. Also, allows you to get by with stocking up on big fat guys up front that don't have to be great Dlinemen, just great at keeping blockers off of Smith. My hope is that I'll have to change my tag in a few years from 51to54 to 51to???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nads786 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Can someone expand a bit with this phrase “perfect for the modern nfl.” Does that mean can cover WRs RBs and TEs or simply can do a bit of everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right. He is a 3 down player that can thrive vs the pass, rather than a two down thumper like the decades before. So he can cover and play the run well. NOt just a little of everything, more that he doesn't have a real weakness, and he will be a solid player for any formation or goal we have.

Were they planned delayed blitzes or mad-dogs (covering the RB but seeing he is staying in to block, so his priority becomes rushing the passer) Not trying to insult anyone's football IQ by giving the definition, that's just what we called in in college and IDK if that was a local thing or not. He liked to make his own names for stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEAR FACE DOWN ARROW Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I am in the minority here I think. I look at Smith and see someone who really gets pushed around. Killer closing speed but OL and TE are going to squash him. Disappointed, but feeling better about it since everyone else seems high on the pick and has been around a lot longer than I... We'll see I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowler1215 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Good pick. Not my first choice obviously, but I like it. I hope he becomes a quality player for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAR FACE DOWN ARROW Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Holy cow. I was out and just watching the tracker, which made me a little bummed we didn't trade down, but Arizona only gave up a 3 and a 5 to move from 15 to 10? Kinda glad Pace didn't take a deal like that actually. Watching more highlights and tape on Smith now, hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
