Overview
Smith's an athletic offensive tackle prospect who could become a solid backup with improvement to his technique and some added weight. Has made strides as a pass blocker in terms of getting set and not over committing toward the corner, and shows flashes of a guy who could become a very effective zone blocker in time. However, he's never going to be a true road-grader who gets movement and will likely also struggle against top caliber power pass rushers. Displays good instincts in pass protection but is still developing his recognition skills in the running game. Smith's a late-round prospect with some upside.
Analysis
Weaknesses
Lacks bulk and strength. Susceptible to the bull rush. Legs go dead on contact at times. While he possesses the athleticism for zone blocking, currently lacks footwork and awareness out in space. Has a tendency to lean and lunge at defenders. Needs to do a better job of finishing.
