What the analysts are saying
- "After a productive sophomore season, Smith suffered a serious left knee injury in the second game of the 2017 season, ending his season. Despite the injury, he left school early, so he must feel confident about the injury." - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
- "Smith's lack of speed, athleticism, and cover skills could hurt his draft stock, but his history as a consistent tackler and willing banger gives him a good chance to make a team no matter where he is drafted." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
