02Scheme fit
Ideal system
Smith's athletic profile and skill set are a natural fit for a one-gap 4-3 penetrating front that prioritizes quickness and disruption over raw power.
Wide-9 DE5-tech DEJoker DE
Best role
As a rookie, he projects as a rotational pass rusher with potential to develop into a starting 5-technique who can set the edge.
Wrong fit
He would be a poor fit for a two-gap 3-4 defense, where his size and strength limitations would be exposed against bigger offensive linemen.
Smith's ability to win with speed and technique makes him a valuable piece for any team looking to generate pressure upfront.
