I was really keen on having him as our first round pick, the injury was a blow. I'd have to say that if he falls to the second round I would love us pulling the trigger and getting him.

As much need as we have to improve right away, Smith could be a great fit at MLB for the future.

 

Although Caldwell said that this draft is well loaded with defensive linemen and linebacker so I doubt he would go with the Smith option if he feels that there are other guys pretty much on his same level (but healthy).

 

I still doubt he falls to the second round, I think he'd be gone in around the 25-31 pick.
