I'm not b/c I watch film. And reality is that he's a great player. It doesn't matter if first round CBs try to press him. He generally beats them. This is a quote from PFF's draft guide:In all seriousness aren't you a ted bit concerned about his size and how it translates at the next level?
The last lanky reciever the Dolphins had with that kinda frame was UM's Lamar Thomas
It's difficult to find on-field cons for Smith. His weight will be brought up again and again over the
course of the spring, but that's it. That's his con. Not his routes, his ball skills, his releases, his body
control or his speed. When that's your only concern — and it hasn't even come to light as an issue on
a college football field — then there's not much to be worried about. Smith is a versatile gamebreaker
who just wins. That's a fit for any scheme in the NFL.
Everybody who keeps bringing up his weight is basing it on a hypothetical that nobody in the draft can overcome. Basically, that he hasn't done it against NFL players. Duh! No draft prospect has. But Smith has already answered it as good as any prospect can. He's done it against other 1st round prospects. They tried to press him and tried to push him around b/c he looks like you could. But they couldn't. Anybody who keeps saying his weight will be a problem is ignoring or hasn't looked at the film.
Smith, btw, was historically great against press coverage. In fact, he was better against press coverage than Chase! He also basically matched Chase on contested catches. They were both excellent. One of the few who was better at contested catches was Pitts. Reality is that both of these players are great prospects. It's ridiculous for anyone to claim that either would be a bad pick.
