If no nerve damage, a smart team will take him in the second or third.
If the nerves are damaged, anytime after the 4th...personally I'd love to get him in the late 4th round as a flyer. Let him sit on a cheap deal with our training staff and be ready to take over when DJ hangs em up. Perfect situation for him, IMO. |

Why do you cite specific rounds as the benchmark for when or where Smith will get drafted? The nature of his injury aside, what all teams will be asking is if he can make a 100% full recovery, even if that means a season of rehab. If a team is fully confident in his recovery and that he can play at the level he was prior to injury then I think this guy goes in the first round. A simple quote from Dorsey a couple years ago regarding the draft said something along the lines of (paraphrasing) "the draft is for the future and that is why you rarely go wrong with taking the best player available. If you rely on the draft to fill needs then you are doing a disservice to the overall talent make up of a team." |

You only get a draft pick for 4 years.
If you draft him and he needs to sit for 1 of those, you lose 25% of his value right there. Even if you are 100% positive that he will return physically from the injury...there is no telling that he would return to 100% mentally. There is a lot of risk involved in making him your pick and this first round has a lot of star power on defense that doesn't hold the same risk. The only way I'd take him in the first is if he could go year one...even if he has to start out on pup. And I'm a gambler by nature. |

My fixation with Smith is that he is top five talent not only in this draft but in most. He would also figure to be an heir apparent to Derrick Johnson. If he checks out medically and lives up to his talent projection, he could very well be the prospect 29 other teams lament over not taking when they had a chance. I totally get why this must be an excruciating decision for front office staffs of teams. Quite the dilemma.... |

Jaylon Smith - LB - Player
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Notre Dame LB Jaylon Smith (ACL, LCL) is not expected to play at all in 2016. He attended the Combine medical re-check this week in Indianapolis and obviously the results weren't encouraging. Smith was once considered a top-five pick but teams aren't going to risk that now that he won't be available for 2016. His stock is tumbling heading into draft weekend.

I wouldn't expect him to return to full strength but it would beat trying to sign him as a UDFA. For the record, Myles Jack didn't have a clean re-check, either. |

The two best LBs in this draft both have top 10, even top 5 talent...and could both drop like a rock. Suddenly it's possible that Jack could fall to the last 1st (though damn unlikely).

If Jacks there at our pick I'd be interested. But I wonder, what's he playing in a 34?
