Draftcountdown has him # 7 CB. Doesn't sound like a solid pick.

Love Smith. Had him at #23 in my first mock. I think he will rise quickly and be a solid 1st round pick, somewhere in the mix with Vontae Davis and DJ Moore. I see his size and versatility being a big plus, as he could play FS next to Meriweather as well as CB.
He's 6'3", that is WAY TO TALL for BB's liking. It's a smurf with good hips or nothing..................
Will Moore's poor Senior Bowl week might drop him all the way into our laps at 23, he's the guy I want if we don't take a pass rusher. And who knows, crazier things have happened, how sweet would it be to have the "Little Animal" Vince Wilfork his way all the way down to us to put next to Mayo.......

Former receiver, safety size, corner skills (not our prototype, though. Probably play both positions). sounds interesting. Here's some stuff.

My thoughts on Smith are that he will either go higher than no.23 or not in the first round at all. There is not that much film on him since this was his first year as a full time starter. More importantly, his performance at the combine will speak volumes. How fast is he? I've seen people claim he's under 4.4 and others say 4.5 plus. What will his shuttle numbers be? Does he look as quick in the drills as the 5'10 guys? Is he really 6'3 or will he measure shorter at the combine.
If he looks great at the combine at 6'3 running 4.4 and and flipping his hips and running with WR's, he probably is a mid first rounder and the 2nd CB off the board. On the other hand, if Smith looks like just a straight line guy, he probably ends up in round 2 with teams looking at him as a CB/S tweener.
There is the remote chance Smith ends up being a 4th rounder or later if he flops at the combine because he doesn't have extensive game tape and didn't get tested in one of the best conferences.
There is a pretty sick video of Smith making a one handed INT on youtube. It's just one highlight, but it's the kind of play that only really gifted people can make.
My thoughts on Smith would be to use him at FS at first. Also use him matched up on teh tall recievers in teh red zone.
I think that would give us a good combo with Meriweather. What I don't know about Smith is how he is in run support and is he a willing hitter. But as of now he is a very interesting prospect that most have rated at the top of the 2nd round.
My thoughts exactly. I think Smith and Meriweather would be a great safety combo. Our red zone defense last year wasn't exactly overwhelming, and having a big DB back there might help. He might also be useful in covering the Dustin Keller type TEs, as well as the big WRs like TO and Plaxico Burress.
:agree: If Smith acquits himself well in the weeks ahead, he's a definite consideration at #23 as a FS and designated tall guy in the backfield.
As for being a "reach," here's my take on it: if you don't expect the player to be around for the SD #2 then he's not a reach at #23, period. It's easy to get too wrapped up in the exact placement of players in mocks.
