He looks a solid pick. His speed and instincts on the field looks way faster than 4.5 time in the 40. Plus he weighed in at 236 at the combine. Plenty of size. Wow is right.

Cooley made a passing comment on his show yesterday saying Smith doesn't shed blocks like a superstar LB should. That he relies on his speed and inferior competition to go around blocks and that he might have trouble against NFL blockers.

Granted, this was not an in depth break down which he does on various players of interest for the team in the lead up to the draft but is certainly enough to make the team pause at 13.

He said he liked James even though he is a S (not a premier high pick position) at 13 more than Smith.
