Summary: Overall, you want a “jack of all trades, master of a few” DL type to add to your mix here in Dallas (or in a number of cities). Smith may not have jaw dropping top-side, but his overall game and his battle level is exactly what you look for in a defensive linemen. He is disruptive and full of energy, along with a nice array of hand skills and moves that show you that while he may not be your star, he is certainly a nice piece of an ensemble cast that should build and rotate to the vital portion of the game where a single play might make the difference. The best part about Smith is that while there is no guarantee where he goes, it is possible he could slide to a fortunate team in Round 2. That team will certainly feel that they were able to acquire an additional 1st round player in this draft.

Trade down target or hope he is available in the second. I would want a higher ceiling for 27 although Smith does seem to have a high floor.

I like this guy a lot. Would be like Frederick--but for the D.

He will be a very good pro. What more could you hope to.get at 27?

I think trade down, or sweat bullets till 2nd round pick. Not 27. But do think would be great get for rotation.
