Did you just say I'm putting words into YOUR mouth in a post I quoted for someone else?

His size/weight has to be a concern to clubs, how can it not be? Very difficult to draft the outliers so to ignore this would be a huge risk particularly for a top 10 pick when you will likely be able to get equal talent without the major red flag ala Pitts/Chase/Waddle, maybe even deeper down the board. I'm definitely in the camp that we strike elsewhere at 6 and then if you can catch him sliding into the teens, great, make a move there, pairing him up with Tua again certainly would be interesting, even moreso if Pitts was already on the roster!
The situation is reminding me a little bit of last year though, everyone seemed to be sold on Tua over Herbert but Tua's lack of size and recent injury were really scaring me, I was hoping we would end up with Herbert and that protypical size/arm. Hindsight is 20/20 of course, and there is nothing saying Tua won't take off similar to Brees in the coming years and I'm 100% behind him but I would think if you polled every club now who they would draft it likely tips in Herbert's favor. It's easy to fall in love with these Bama guys because they are kicking tail all year long but think we are better off with the tried and true here, get a similar talent player at 6 but with proper measurables.

The link to your reply in my "notifications" for some reason linked directly to that reply, and not the reply you gave to my post. Then I after I posted it was quoting other folks. Fixed! Sorry!
Doesn't really change anything regarding the claim and the discussion surrounding it.
Im not seeing Smith beat that.
Yeah I disagree that ~10-15 pounds is going to give you much more protection to your head..
gonna need to see some evidence for that one

Kind of a weak argument, no? You’re showing a video of Diggs and Thielen get blown up, and say “Smith won’t beat that”? But Diggs didn’t beat it either. Would you be upset with Diggs being on this team?
He is actually one of the best at getting off press. He's better at it than Chase, for example.
Agreed. LOL I see it as one of the silliest opinions.
Based on your logic, no one under 6’1“ and 225 pounds should be drafted in the NFL. Because those were the height and weight of Jackson when he played in the NFL and suffered his career ending injury.
The only thing in life that is inevitable is death and taxes. We have no idea what type of career Smith or any other player in this years draft will have in the NFL or if they will suffer a career ending injury.

With a proper nutritionist and working out he can easily add weight. Additionally, he played against some of the best corners why wasn't his weight an issue against them back in college?
If the job of a receiver was to stand on a scale during a game, then we can be worried.
Here he is against Jaycee Horn who is expected to go in the 1st round.

Probably not, but neither did Thielen right there who is like 200 pounds?
alexander is running full steam at AT who is just trying to wrangle him to block him at all
what does this run blocking clip have to do with anything? I get you’re trying to call Smith weak but this is a poor way of doing it

These numbers are pretty close to what we've heard all along, doesn't change anything in my opinion.
The starting corners at South Carolina last year were bigger than any starters in the AFC East
Levi Wallace in Buffalo clocks in at all of 6'0" 179lbs
The kid can play.

Im very happy with Smith that he measured finally.
It’s long term durability that is the concern. Guys at his size historically have trouble staying healthy over the course of their career
he’s as talented as they come that shouldn’t be taken away from him. But 166 lbs (his bulked up weight) means there’s an uphill battle there to stay healthy over the course of a career
