My concern with Smith is that he doesn't have any room to grow, both physically and from a technique standpoint. That caps his upside to me. His tape is solid and he has been very well coached but ultimately he is an undersized TE who I think will have trouble against NFL competition in the run game. There seem to be a litany of Alabama prospects who look better than they are because of the coaching they receive and the talent they play with. I think Smith may be one of those.
With Warring, Knox, Sternberger etc there is obviously a higher ceiling when they get into an NFL programme and start to learn the intricacies of the TE position. That is attractive to me. I have no interest in Smith at 32. I'm not even convinced I like him in the 2nd yet tbh.
First preference is Hockenson with a trade up. If not, I avoid Fant and Smith and simply wait until the late second early 3rd to get into the next group of prospects.
