Devonta Smith

[Nappy Roots]

As opposed to every other player in the NFL with lots of lifting... all of whole weigh more than 165-170 pounds.

Right, so you have no clue about core strength. 170 pound person can be massively stronger in your core than a 190 pound person.

Bad assumptions.

Yes... Smith is magical...

:sigh:

Desmond Howard... how good was he in the NFL?

How good was Tim Brown?

 

[Nappy Roots]

Yes... Smith is magical...

:sigh:

Right, because magic is the only way a small frame can be strong. Pure ignorance.

How good was Tim Brown?

Pretty darn good... and he weighed 195

 

[Nappy Roots]

No... we are determining that most WRs that were his size are not great... some manage it, but the % chance is lower. Just as a WR who struggles to carry 165 pounds after 4 years of lifting... his chances are lower as well.

I'm not saying that he won't be an outlier... I'm saying that his chances are lower than you are suggesting. Chase would be a safer pick... he's bigger and he succeeded two years earlier by age. If anyone is still developing, it's Chase, not Smith. I'm suggesting that Smith is maxed out.

Can you provide the source where Smith struggles to carry 165?

You just veered into 'rude'.

Smitty has a Kevin Durant type wingspan. I think he’ll be just fine.

Proof of his wingspan? He's not been measured for that, as far as I know!

Many people agree with you...

My prediction is that he'll be an outside the 20 yard guy. He'll become a very good second target for someone, and ultimately be overdrafted.

Yeah I think you need to rewatch his tape bro. His release off press man and his combination of fluidity and body control is all pristine. And he dominated high end NFL corner prospects.

This is from a couple months ago:

“...Smith did submit hand (9 3/8 inches), arm (31 1/2) and wingspan (78 1/2) measurements on Tuesday...”

He was measured at the Senior Bowl *edit* beat me to it by seconds.

I've seen the tape, bro... and I don't think he's going to be an NFL #1 WR.

I could be wrong... so could you.

Durant's wingspan is 89 inches..hardly the same or similar LOL
