If he drops to the Pats 2nd round pick, would you take him?
I say yes. The value is tremendous. And he would add nice young talent to the depth chart at RB.
"Smith is a strong, physical runner who can take over a game. He's got tremendous quickness, vision, and strength. He's patient and allows his blockers to set up in front of him, finds the open running lane, and quickly hits it. A shifty runner, Smith is a back who not only makes defenders miss, but is truly special in the open field. He's tough, can take a pounding and gets better as the game progresses. He flashes soft hands and is a receiving threat out of the backfield"

What amazes me, is that given all these numbers, why isn't he considered a 1st round pick? So imo if this guy keeps dropping, he could be an excellent value for the Pats. Even with Maroney already in the fold, Kevin Smith would be valuable insurance since Faulk and Morris are both over 30. And who knows how well Morris will recover from his injury.
All 41 carries of Kevin Smith shown vs UAB (Auburn?). Looks like the type of RB you can hitch your wagon to, and just grind out the clock for the win. Something that we didn't really have last year. He's not really a burner type, but he's plenty fast, and he can carry the load, wear down a defense, and end up overpowering it late in the game.
