Coach Tuesday Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 So, now what happens with Smith? Does some team scoop him up in the 4th round and stash him away for a year or two? I hope it's us. Sean Spence has become a good player for the Steelers, and his injury appears to have been similar. And IMO the Bills made a huge blunder not drafting La'el Collins with one of their late round picks last year - he's on his way to becoming an All Pro guard with the Cowboys. My point is, after Round 3, the risk is worth it. The Bills have to get out of their own way a bit and take the long view. They don't need another Jonathan Meeks in Round 6. Take a gamble on a guy with a tremendous upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWATeam Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Some team will draft him no later than the 2nd round.Doesn't sound great on Smith. I don't take him before round 4 with all the defensive talent in this draft. And I loved smith as a player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebandit27 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I think one of these perennial playoff teams will take him and "redshirt" him for 2016. I'd be too worried to chance him in rounds 1 or 2, but if he's there in round 3 I'm sprinting--maybe even trading up if he gets past pick 64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Really good interview with Smith. He's a really intelligent guy with great character. I hope he makes it back to 100% health to have a full career. @KimJonesSports Jaylon Smith tells me he thinks he's the best player in draft, he just can't show it right now. Interview coming up on @nflnetwork #Combine @RapSheet Ian Rapoport Retweeted Kimberly Jones Teams say he's been incredible professional handling a difficult injury @NFL_CFB .@MikeMayock talked to 5 different teams about Notre Dame LB Jaylon Smith, and every team's told him "it's bad" on the knee. @NFL_CFB #NFLCombine not over yet, but Noah Spence shaping up to be one of its losers --> http://bit.ly/1QlN82m @KimJonesSports Jaylon Smith to @NFLNetwork: "One thing we do know is I'll be 100 percent again.
