I was gonna edit my post above to ask this question but for some reason Safari is closing on my iphone whenever I hit the edit button... So here's another post to ask my fellow draft freaks what you think of Preston Smith? Seems to be a fringe first rounder but I don't know much about him. Opinions?

Preston Smith, DE, Mississippi State
Height: 6-4. Weight: 271.
40 Time: 4.74.
Projected Round (2015): 2-3.
3/7/15: At the Combine, Smith had a quality 40 time and workout. He looks to have solidified his stock as a second-day pick between his Combine, Senior Bowl and final season of tape.

Smith was one of the Bulldogs' top defenders who led a tough defense in 2014.For the year, he had 48 tackles with 15 tackles for a loss, nine sacks, two forced fumbles, three passes broken up and two interceptions. Smith looked greatly improved over his junior year when he had 44 tackles and 2.5 sacks. As a sophomore, Smith totaled 35 tackles and 4.5 sacks.

every game i got to see these guys play he always caught my eye. not because he did something flashy. he just appeared to well coached and extremely disciplined.

he might be getting a bit of hype build up but if you pick him odds are you are getting a player that groomed and ready for the show right out of the box.

this is what you will probably get with this guy.

he may not make a ton of highlight reels but he will quietly surprise you by season end what he has done. odds are he will rack up hurries and hits. but the other players will benefit from his play racking up sacks. In the run game he will be the stout one that forces the play wide or to end side setting up others to rack up the stats. he will get solid numbers but odds are his impact will go unsung for a long time but everyone knows what he does and will respect him for it league wide.

he is just that type of player IMO. Solid all around 3 down type.

of all the dogs he impressed the most each and every game.

dare i say an ILB there, whats his name (?), owes a lot to him for his draft rating
