Such a shame this young man tore his knee up, because I believe he's the best player in this draft, and I don't think it's close. Everyone knows Smith can cover at the linebacker spot, due to his instincts, intelligence and world class athleticism, but Notre Dame has used him as a pass rusher (on occasion) and he's excelled in the spot, he has the explosion and "bend" to wreak havoc off the edge. According to multiple Notre Dame beat writers, he's whipped future top 15 pick Ronnie Stanley in practice, on multiple occasions. If he's sitting there in the 2nd round when the Jags are up, it'd be tough to pass on him, this is obviously contingent on the Jags doctors medical report.
