Hmm, I tend to not buy this report, if Pacman can go in the Top 32, so can Smith, especially with Cb being deemed such an important position, he may go in the 3rd or 4th rds, but he will be picked in late April.
Eh, do not think it is total crapola, rumors of his actions have been around since draft boards last yr, also think teams give corners more lattitude then they do Qb's as the position pretty much requires Elite athleticism as it's prime requirement.
He's also never be know for his tackling or physicality. Has good speed, length etc, but he is a guest on defense as a tackler IMO. He doesn't fight to work through blocks to the ball, he'd rather let a teammate do that. This isn't to say he won't ever make a tackle but in reality Sean Smith last year would be a real close comparison.
Yeah I do. The issue with Jimmy Smith is he's not there every snap mentally. I don't really question his physicality because when he wants to make a play on the ball carrier, he can do it. Its similar to when Michael Huff was coming out to me because Huff was similar in that way at times. They both share the same issue of them tackling high though. If he doesn't go top fifty, I'll be surprised.
