2.37 Devin Smith - WR - Ohio State

[Cane]

Is Decker our slot receiver now?

Will Kerley get cut/traded soon

Different players totally doing different things in the offense.

[Heismanberg]

We haven't had a touchdown threat on this team for a long time. Marshall and Decker are fantastic route runners/possession receivers. Smith will be your classic 3 catches for 80 yards and a TD guy.

And that's what we've been missing for a very long time.

I like this pick if only because we've needed a deep threat guy for soooooo long

[ukilledkenny]

Yeah, I have been wanting a guy who could change the game at any time for a long time.

"I like this pick. This guy tracks the football deep as well as any wide receiver in this draft. He has 4.4 speed. It seemed like every catch he made this year was for a touchdown." -- Mike Mayock

That is kind of easy when you only run deep routes.

And the last time we drafted a good one, he had Pennington throwing him the ball.

Well, let's use him on a lot of deep routes then. The guy can run like hell and he adjusts to the ball wonderfully in the air. If he gets single-teamed down the field against a cornerback, Smith will have the edge most of the time.

I don't know enough about this kid to give an opinion, but what does he bring that we couldn't get from say Tyler Lockett.

Elite quote

[Derek Smalls]

Short term: Plays 30-40% of the snaps, running mostly deep routes in 3-4 receiver sets. Playing completely to his strengths. He also plays the gunner role, ending Saalim Hakim's Jets career, and he's damn good at that, too.

Long term: Hopefully, he develops running shorter routes and becomes a taller and less crippy DeSean Jackson.

[Cane]

Two reasons for optimism:

- At least he's not DGB
- Maybe we draft Bombasaurus Jones next year to throw to him.

[bojanglesman]

He will look so awesome getting underthrown by Geno

It's a good point

Because Fitz is freaking terrible at deep balls too.

He was at his most effective throwing those ultra short passes in Buffalo
