I'm told there is a lot of like for him at weakside linebacker on their board."

I really like the sound of that. This is a deep class for D-Lineman so I would be fine with Smith in the first round.

While I wouldn't mind Another OLB. Do we really want one that is just coming of a big knee surgery?

That would be a retrograde move for the Saints; going back to farming players for other teams...
